Abstract

In the research area of estimation of the software development efforts, a number of researches have been accomplished in order to control the costs and to make software more competitive. However, most of them were restricted to the functional algorithm models or the statistic models. Moreover, since they are dealing with the cases of foreign countries, the results are hard to apply directly to the domestic environment for the efficient project management because of lack of accuracy, fitness, flexibility and portability. Therefore, it is appropriate to suggest and propose a new approach supported by artificial neural network which is composed of back propagation and feed-forward algorithms to improve the exactness of the efforts estimation and to advance practical uses. In this study, the artificial neural network approach is used to model the software cost estimation and the results are compared with the revised COCOMO and the multiregression model in order to validate the superiority of the model.
