Effort estimation plays a crucial role in software development projects,aiding in resource allocation,project planning,and risk management.Traditional estimation techniques often struggle to provide accurate estimates due to the complex nature of software projects.In recent years,machine learning approaches have shown promise in improving the accuracy of effort estimation models.This study proposes a hybrid model that combines Long Short-Term Memory(LSTM)and Random Forest(RF)algorithms to enhance software effort estimation.The proposed hybrid model takes advantage of the strengths of both LSTM and RF algorithms.To evaluate the performance of the hybrid model,an extensive set of software development projects is used as the experimental dataset.The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed hybrid model outperforms traditional estimation techniques in terms of accuracy and reliability.The integration of LSTM and RF enables the model to efficiently capture temporal dependencies and non-linear interactions in the software development data.The hybrid model enhances estimation accuracy,enabling project managers and stakeholders to make more precise predictions of effort needed for upcoming software projects. 展开更多

The feature selection in analogy-based software effort estimation (ASEE) is formulized as a multi-objective optimization problem. One objective is designed to maximize the effort estimation accuracy and the other objective is designed to minimize the number of selected features. Based on these two potential conflict objectives, a novel wrapper- based feature selection method, multi-objective feature selection for analogy-based software effort estimation (MASE), is proposed. In the empirical studies, 77 projects in Desharnais and 62 projects in Maxwell from the real world are selected as the evaluation objects and the proposed method MASE is compared with some baseline methods. Final results show that the proposed method can achieve better performance by selecting fewer features when considering MMRE (mean magnitude of relative error), MdMRE (median magnitude of relative error), PRED ( 0. 25 ), and SA ( standardized accuracy) performance metrics. 展开更多

In project management,effective cost estimation is one of the most cru-cial activities to efficiently manage resources by predicting the required cost to fulfill a given task.However,finding the best estimation results in software devel-opment is challenging.Thus,accurate estimation of software development efforts is always a concern for many companies.In this paper,we proposed a novel soft-ware development effort estimation model based both on constructive cost model II(COCOMO II)and the artificial neural network(ANN).An artificial neural net-work enhances the COCOMO model,and the value of the baseline effort constant A is calibrated to use it in the proposed model equation.Three state-of-the-art publicly available datasets are used for experiments.The backpropagation feed-forward procedure used a training set by iteratively processing and training a neural network.The proposed model is tested on the test set.The estimated effort is compared with the actual effort value.Experimental results show that the effort estimated by the proposed model is very close to the real effort,thus enhanced the reliability and improving the software effort estimation accuracy. 展开更多

A mathematical model that makes use of data mining and soft computing techniques is proposed to estimate the software development effort. The proposed model works as follows: The parameters that have impact on the development effort are divided into groups based on the distribution of their values in the available dataset. The linguistic terms are identified for the divided groups using fuzzy functions, and the parameters are fuzzified. The fuzzified parameters then adopt associative classification for generating association rules. The association rules depict the parameters influencing the software development effort. As the number of parameters that influence the effort is more, a large number of rules get generated and can reduce the complexity, the generated rules are filtered with respect to the metrics, support and confidence, which measures the strength of the rule. Genetic algorithm is then employed for selecting set of rules with high quality to improve the accuracy of the model. The datasets such as Nasa93, Cocomo81, Desharnais, Maxwell, and Finnish-v2 are used for evaluating the proposed model, and various evaluation metrics such as Mean Magnitude of Relative Error, Mean Absolute Residuals, Shepperd and MacDonell’s Standardized Accuracy, Enhanced Standardized Accuracy and Effect Size are adopted to substantiate the effectiveness of the proposed methods. The results infer that the accuracy of the model is influenced by the metrics support, confidence, and the number of association rules considered for effort prediction. 展开更多

In recent decades,many software reliability growth models(SRGMs) have been proposed for the engineers and testers in measuring the software reliability precisely.Most of them is established based on the non-homogeneous Poisson process(NHPP),and it is proved that the prediction accuracy of such models could be improved by adding the describing of characterization of testing effort.However,some research work indicates that the fault detection rate(FDR) is another key factor affects final software quality.Most early NHPPbased models deal with the FDR as constant or piecewise function,which does not fit the different testing stages well.Thus,this paper first incorporates a multivariate function of FDR,which is bathtub-shaped,into the NHPP-based SRGMs considering testing effort in order to further improve performance.A new model framework is proposed,and a stepwise method is used to apply the framework with real data sets to find the optimal model.Experimental studies show that the obtained new model can provide better performance of fitting and prediction compared with other traditional SRGMs. 展开更多
