“…Two validation sets, each containing 65 projects, were employed for the Model Validation step to assess the effort prediction accuracy of each BN model. Since there is no de facto standard of how many projects a validation set should contain, we chose to use a 66:33 split, as in [4] [33]. The estimated effort for each of the 65 projects in each of the two validation sets was obtained using a point forecast, computed using the method described in [39].…”

Abstract. The spreading of Web applications has motivated the definition of size measures suitable for such kind of software systems. Among the proposals existing in the literature, Web Objects were conceived by Reifer specifically for Web applications as an extension of Function Points. In this paper we report on an empirical analysis we performed exploiting 25 Web applications developed by an Italian software company. The results confirm the ones obtained in a previous study and extend them in several aspects, showing the robustness of the measure with respect to the size and technologies of the applications, and to the employed estimation techniques.

“…It was reported that empirical investigation on 67 web application confirmed that, "Total no. of web pages" and "features/functionality" were two most inflectional effort predictors [24]. Costagliola et al 2006 , performed an extension of his research work [ 8],about the effectiveness of COSMIC to predict efforts for web application development.…”

In present era of information technology web applications have become an indispensable and most pivotal source to disseminate information across geographically distant nodes. Most of the organisation public or private have switched their existence from traditional software based systems to web based software systems. Many characteristic differences between traditional software and web based software application made web based existence more popular with wide range adoption. The sudden surge in web application usability across different organisation have posed a grave challenge for web development companies to deliver their products onetime and within budget with much expected accurately, efficiency and reliability. Effort estimation is main domain that decides the budgetary constraints associated with web application development. Accurate estimates are very essential for both developer and client. Accurate estimates make web development companies to maintain their reputation, competitive edge and client base. Inaccuracy in effort estimates results to lose revenue, client base and competitive strength. Effort estimation is very import for every development organisation to estimate the development work in early stages of development to prove efficient, accurate and much reliable budget estimates. This paper is an effort to explore various effort estimation techniques for web development, their challenges and measures to predict accurate efforts.
