Abstract

Abstract— The effort estimation is most important aspect for software project development. In the past literatures, there are many methods to estimate effort. Accuracy is still the issue for the estimation, since the data available is incomplete in many cases. In this paper, a systematic review is given of major estimation models, their strength and weaknesses are discussed. The literature review shows the algorithmic models and non-algorithmic models such as COCOMO, Function Point Analysis, expert judgement, fuzzy logic etc. Cost is the major feature in estimation, so both overestimation and under estimation are dangerous for software development team. In this paper, various techniques are elaborated and hence it is concluded that by using combination of two or models effort can be estimated accurately.
