A systematic approach for the estimation of software risk and cost using esrcTool

摘要

Software risk evaluation is a process for identifying, analysing, and developing mitigation strategies for risk in a software intensive system while it is in development. This paper presents a systematic approach for the estimation of software risk and cost using esrcTool. This tool is based on software risk assessment and estimation model. In this model function point approach is employed as an input variable to estimate the source of uncertainty, i.e. measurement error, model error, and assumption error. To show the validity of our tool, we have considered the project developed by our students.
