Predicting how much effort will be required to complete a software project as early as possible is a very important factor in the success of software development projects. Including function points and its variants, there are several size measures and corresponding measurement methods that can be used for effort estimation. However, in most of the projects, there is limited amount of information available in the early stages and significant effort is spent for size measurement and effort estimation with such methods. This paper analyzes the correlation between the size metrics of conceptual model of the problem domain and the resulting software. For this purpose, we consider open source project management and game software. We apply linear regression and cross validation techniques to investigate the relation between the sizes of problem domain (i.e., conceptual) and solution domain (i.e., design) models. The results reveal a high correlation between the number of conceptual classes in the problem domain model and the number of software classes constituting the corresponding software. The results suggest that it is possible to use problem domain descriptions in the early stages of software development projects to make plausible predictions for the size of the software.

Use Case Point (UCP) Methodology for Software Effort Estimation
AYYILDIZ, TÜLİN ERÇELEBİ; Koçyiğit, Altan; Kara, Aydin (2012-11-03)
It is an important issue in the software industry to predict how much effort will be required for a software project. The more accurate the effort estimation is in the early product development lifecycle, the higher is the performance in utilization of the resources and the in meeting the deadline requirements. There are some numbers of methodologies developed for effort estimation. Use Case Points (UCP), which is used for extracting and defining the functional requirements of a software system, is very pop...
Exploration of an Error Prevention Model for COSMIC Functional Size Measurement Method
Salmanoğlu, Murat; Demirörs, Onur (2012-10-19)
The reliability of Functional size is crucial for effort and cost estimation in software development projects. However, estimation results may differ because of the errors made in the measurement process. This research proposes an error prevention model for COSMIC Functional Size Measurement method to increase the reliability of the measurements. The model has two main suggestions; first, to use the types of the functional processes during the measurement to prevent errors, and the second, to use a cardinal...
Comparison of Three Software Effort Estimation Methodologies with Case Study

Correlations between problem and solution domain measures of open source software
Ayyildiz, Tulin Ercelebi; Koçyiğit, Altan (2017-01-01)
Software size measurement and effort estimation methodologies in use today usually take the detailed requirements of software to be developed as the primary input and a certain amount of time and expertise is needed for size measurement. This paper analyzes the open source projects' correlations between the problem domain measures (the number of nouns and verbs) and solution domain measures (the number of software classes and methods). In this paper, 27 open source software projects are analyzed. Linear reg...
A Clustering Based Functional Similarity Measurement Approach
Usgurlu, Burak; Ozcan, Ozden; Ungan, Erdir; Demirörs, Onur (2010-09-03)
Effort prediction remains to be one of the greatest challenges of software management. While advances in functional size measurement enable functional size to be successfully utilized for effort prediction there are various factors that create significant variances. One of these factors is functional similarity. In this study, we developed, automated and validated an approach to determine similarities among functional processes for COSMIC functional size measurement methodology. The paper includes the expla...
