Abstract

No single software development estimation technique is best tor all situations, A careful comparison of the results of several approaches is most likely to produce realistic estimates, On the other hand, unless engineers have the capabilities provided by personal training, they cannot properly support their teams or consistently and reliably produce quality products. In this paper, an investigation aimed to compare a personal Fuzzy Logic System (FLS) with linear regression is presented. The evaluation criteria are based upon ANOVA of MRE and MER, as well as MMRE, MMER and pred(25). One hundred five programs were developed by thirty programmers. From these programs, a FLS is generated for estimating the effort of twenty programs developed by seven programmers. The adequacy checking as well as a validation of the FLS are made. Results show that a FLS can be used as an alternative for estimating the development effort at personal level.
