Software effort estimation is very crucial in software project planning.Accurate software estimation is very critical for a pro ject success.There are many software predict ion models and all of them utilize software size as a key factor to estimate effort.Function Points size metric is a popular method for estimating and measuring the size of application software based on the functionality of the software fro m the user's point of view.While there is a great advancement in software development, the weight values assigned to count standard FP remains the same.In this paper the concepts of calib rating the function point weights using Type-2 fu zzy logic framewo rk is provided whose aim is to estimate a more accurate software size for various software applications and to improve the effort estimation of software projects.Evaluation experiments have shown the framework to be promising.
