Application of Statistical Methods to the Development of Naval Software Maintenance and Related Cost Estimation Models
Ronald C. Gulezian · 1988
Abstract : This report describes a framework within which the Sonar Systems Department of the Naval Underwater Systems Center would be able to develop a model over time that can be used to effectively estimate software maintenance costs. The primary focus of this study is on the development of a framework by which statistical methods can meaningfully contribute to the software cost modeling process and model structures. Although the report describes a framework in the context of sonar systems software maintenance, the framework is generalizable to the future structure of all software cost models and model building processes.
