Some Issues on Scheduling Estimation Model for Object-Oriented Software Projects

Abstract

Object-Oriented (OO) software projects are becoming more popular than structured (functional) technology based projects. Object Technology (OT) offers support to deliver products to market more quickly and to provide high quality with lower maintenance costs. Estimation is an important field of software engineering and there is need for good OO metrics and models for both process and product management. To cut development cost and meet tight deadlines in short staffed software projects, it is essential that managers plan and schedule their projects in a best possible way. To address these issues, we have proposed a model for scheduling estimation by using available OO metrics and affecting factors.
