Abstract

Software effort estimation is very crucial in software project planning. Accurate software estimation is very critical for a project success. There are many software prediction models and all of them utilize software size as a key factor to estimate effort. Function Points size metric is a popular method for estimating and measuring the size of application software based on the functionality of the software from the user's point of view. While there is a great advancement in software development, the weight values assigned to count standard FP remains the same. In this paper the concepts of calibrating the function point weights using Type-2 fuzzy logic framework is provided whose aim is to estimate a more accurate software size for various software applications and to improve the effort estimation of software projects. Evaluation experiments have shown the framework to be promising.
