A Fuzzy Logic Model Based upon Reused and New & Changed Code for Software Development Effort Estimation at Personal Level
Cuauhtémoc López‐Martín, Cornelio Yáñez-Márquéz, Agustín Francisco Gutiérrez Tornés · 2006
Unless engineers have the capabilities provided by personal training, they cannot properly support their teams or consistently and reliably produce quality products. This paper presents a research aimed to compare a model based upon fuzzy logic with a multiple linear regression model. From a replicated experiment using a sample integrated by sixteen developers and 94 small programs these two models are derived. A common process as well as inside of a controlled environment this experiment is based. These comparisons based upon analysis of variance (ANOVA), magnitude of relative error (MRE) as well as multiple range tests show that a fuzzy logic model based on new and changed code as well as reused code can be an alternative for the software development effort estimation at personal level
