“…According to IFPUG, function points are calculated on the basis of Unadjusted Function Point (UFP) and Value Adjustment Factor (VAF) where UFP is evaluated on the basis of external input, output, enquiry, files and interfaces [4] [5]. Different function point based effort estimation models were developed by Albrecht-Gaffney [6], Kemerer [7] and Matson, Barrett and Mellichamp [8] …”

Software effort estimation is the process of finding out the amount of effort that would be required to develop software. It forms the basis for planning out the various software development activities, estimating the resources-time and manpower, that will be required in developing a software. It is measured in person-months. The quality and accuracy of the estimated effort greatly affects the success of a project. One of the computational intelligence techniques that have been widely used for optimizing a non linear and multidimensional problem is particle swarm optimization technique which is inspired by the social behavior of flock of birds and school of fish. Thus particle swarm optimization can be used in optimizing various effort estimation methods. This paper represents the comprehensive survey on use of particle swarm optimization for effort estimation from the year 2008 to 2016.

“…Equations used in this model are not available, because it was a proprietary model. ESTIMAC is high level model but doesn't provide accurate solution [10]. Six critical estimation dimensions identified by Rubin for this model are: effort hour, staff size, cost, hardware resource requirement, risk, portfolio impact [2].…”

“…Other side line of code is language dependence. So, in 1979 at IBM, developer Allan Albrecht developed measurement method called Function point [10] in order to reduce the issues related with LOC methods. Function point defines the complexity of software system in terms of functions that system delivers to user.…”
