Poonam Rijwani, Sonal Amit Jain, Dharmesh Santani · 2014
For any industry to stay competitive, managing balance between quality and cost of software is important. Estimating software development effort remains a complex problem and one which continues to attract considerable research attention. Number of researchers had made their efforts to produce different modeling techniques in last few decades. This paper is about the comprehensive descriptive exploration of the techniques that were presented in software effort estimation field. In this paper we present the main findings of few research papers that have utilized a various parametric and non parametric techniques amalgamated with computational intelligence technique, in software effort estimation. All widespread models discussed at one place will give researchers a prospect to comprehend the pros and cons, similarities and the differences among various models.
