Exploring the Relation Between Effort and Duration in Software Engineering Projects
S. Oligny, Pierre Bourque, Alain Abran, Bertrand Fournier · Espace ÉTS (ETS) · 2000
This paper presents a confirmatory analysis of empirical models that predict software engineering project duration based on project effort, based on a more recent and much larger sample. The models are based on the analysis of project data provided by release 4 of the International Software Benchmarking Standards Group (ISBSG) repository. Duration models are built for subsets of projects using personal computer, mid-range and mainframe development platforms.
