A Methdology of Software Cost Estimation Techniques for Data Mining

Abstract

Many software projects fail every year due to increasing size and complexity of software projects. To deal with this problem many researcher have been focused on this area of Cost estimation since 1960s. The cost estimation is usually dependent upon the size estimate of the project, which may use lines of code as metrics. Software engineering plays an important role in software development process. It is used to develop quality software. The quality software is developed using vast amount of software engineering data. The alternative technique is to develop a model unique to a particular environment, which should more accurately reflect that environment. In this paper, a methdology of software cost estimation techniques for data mining is presnted.
