Business Process Improvement (BPI) is a key issue in the development of the enterprise competitiveness. However, achieving a level of software development performance that matches enterprise BPI needs in terms of producing noticeable results in small amounts of time requires the existence of a comprehensive and also agile Software Development Process (SDP). Quite often, SDPs do not deliver software architectures that can be directly used for in-house development, as specifications are either too close to the user interface design or too close to business rules and application domain modeling, and produce architectures that do not cope with software development concerns. In this paper we present the Goals Approach, which structures business processes to extract requirements, and methodologically details them in order to specify the user interface, the business logic and the database structures for the architecture of a BPI. Our approach aims in-house software development in small and medium enterprises.

“…Incluso un pequeño ajuste, por medio punto, variará el resultado final en un 40% (Anukula & Perumal, 2012). Los factores ambientales y técnicos son propensos al sesgo influenciado por la experiencia del estimador (Alves, Valente & Nunes, 2013) y no presentan estandarización (Ayyıldız, Koçyiğit & Peker, 2013). Azzeh propone la inclusión de 3 nuevos factores ambientales con el fin de ayudar a obtener mayor precisión en los resultados (Azzeh, 2013).…”

“…En base a los resultados obtenidos en la Tabla 3, se ha podido identificar que la mayoría de los autores hacen referencia a continuar con la afinación del método de Puntos de Casos de Uso haciendo uso de más proyectos y utilizando casos de uso con mayor cantidad de transacciones dentro de sus investigaciones (Kashyap, Shukla & Misra, 2014) (Nunes, 2010) (Alves, Valente & Nunes, 2013) (Ayyıldız, Koçyiğit & Peker, 2013) ) (Nassif, Ho & Capretz, 2013). Otros trabajos futuros restantes como una estandarización de casos de uso (Remón & Thomas, 2010), calibración de los pesos de casos de uso (Nassif, Ho & Capretz, 2013), consideración de diversos factores de complejidad (Azzeh, 2013) y actualización de los factores ambientales y técnicos (Nassif, Ho & Capretz, 2013); ya han sido evidenciados como materia de estudio por diversos autores en la presente investigación.…”

Resumen: El éxito de un proyecto de desarrollo de software depende de que el producto obtenido cumpla con las especificaciones del usuario y se termine dentro del plazo y con el presupuesto establecido. Muchos proyectos de software presentan el problema de no estar siendo desarrollados dentro del plazo planificado debido a una mala valoración del esfuerzo o duración del proyecto de software. La presente investigación tiene como objetivo determinar los factores que afectan la precisión de la estimación del esfuerzo en proyectos de software, usando Puntos de Caso de Uso como método de estimación. Un total de 37 estudios primarios fueron seleccionados. Los resultados muestran que los factores ambientales, la complejidad de los casos de uso, la falta de estandarización de los casos de uso, factores técnicos y contabilización de las transacciones son algunos de los factores que afectan la precisión del método de Puntos de Caso de Uso.Palabras-clave: Proyecto de Desarrollo de Software; Puntos de Caso de Uso; Estimación de esfuerzo. Factors Affecting the Accuracy of Effort Estimation in Software Projects Using Use Case PointsAbstract: The success of a software development project depends on that the retrieved product complies with the user's specifications and to be completed within the time and within the budget established. Many software projects show the problem about that they are not being developed within the time set due to a bad assessment of the effort or duration of the software project. This research has the objective of determining the factors that affect the accuracy of the effort estimation in software projects using the Use Case Points as estimation method. A total of 37 primarily studies were selected. The results show that the environmental factors, the use cases complexity, the lack of use case standardization, technical factors and counting transactions are some of the factors that affect the accuracy of the Use Case Points method.

“…This has become now the primary approach of every software industry to design better software management system so that all the aspects needed for a software development project, can be systematized to produce effective results by proposing accurate budget and financial inputs needed for the software development project 1,2 . The systemized approach of estimating the resources needed for the software development project in early phases of software development process makes it possible to check the feasibility of the conceived developmental assignment.…”

Practical effort estimation is very basic and most essential aspect of very organisation to sustain better project management. Accuracy in efforts makes the organisation to surge its business and build motivation among its customers effectively. It was observed that continuous improvement is required for software effort assessment after regular eras. The fundamental point of this examination work is to assess the execution of Re-UCP strategy for estimation of efforts for web application projects. This research work compares the existing effort estimation model results with the Re-UCP effort estimation methods results for web application development projects.
