Elimination of Estimation biases in the Software Development

Journal Title: Indian Journal of Computer Science and Engineering - Year 2015, Vol 6, Issue 2

Abstract

The software effort estimations are usually too low and the prediction is also a very difficult task as software is intangible in nature. Also the estimation is based on the parameters that are usually partial in nature. It is an important management activity. Despite much research in this area, the accuracy of effort estimation is very low. This results in poor project planning and failure of many software projects. One of the reasons for this poor estimation is that the estimation given by the software developers are affected by some information which do not have any relevance to the calculation of effort. To avoid this, we have proposed a new methodology in which we analyze the relationship between the estimation bias and the various features of developers such as the role in the company, thinking style, experience, education, software development skills, etc. It is found that the estimation bias increases with higher levels of interdependence.
