Enhancement of Software Effort Analysis Using Web Based Tool Estimator

Meenakshi , Senthil Kumar

Software engineering is the discipline which paves the roadmap for development of software within given schedule and effort and with the desired quality. The initial process with software development includes estimating the size, effort and time required for the development of the software. With the increasing size and complexity of software, software development has become a more tedious process and hence needs to take care of even the simplest activity in the development process. Several techniques are available for effort estimation. However, none of the existing methods guarantees the necessary accuracy. In this paper, we develop the web based tool, based on function point analysis, which shows the influence of quality attributes in estimation and increases the accuracy of effort estimation. By implication, the research suggests that the web based tool is efficient and accurate to make estimators and developers more accruable in the software estimation.
