Estimating effort by use case points: method, tool and case study

摘要: Use case point (UCP) method has been proposed to estimate software development effort in early phase of project and used a lot organizations. Intuitively, UCP is measured by counting the number actors transactions included use models. Several tools support calculating have developed. However, they only extract cases complexity classification them are conducted manually. We introducing projects Hitachi Systems & Services, Ltd. To effective introduction method, we developed an automatic measurement tool, called U-EST. This paper describes idea automatically classify from model. also applied U-EST actual models examined difference between value tool one specialist. As results, UCPs similar ones
