Web Cost Estimation

The document investigates the accuracy of top-down and bottom-up web cost estimation models using linear and stepwise multiple regression. It analyzed 37 web applications developed by students, gathering measures on length, size, reusability, complexity, effort, and confounding factors associated with the application, page, media and program. These measures were organized into categories and used to generate cost estimation models to predict accuracy.

Web cost estimation

Mendes et al. (2001) investigated the prediction accuracy of top-down and


bottom-up Web cost estimation models, generated using linear and stepwise
multiple regression models. They employed one dataset with data on 37 Web
applications developed by honors and postgraduate computer science
students. Gathered measures were organized into five categories: length
size, reusability, complexity size, effort, and confounding factors (factors
that, if not controlled, could influence the validity of the evaluation), and are
associated to one of the following entities: application, page, media and
program.

Size metrics

Reusability metrics

Complexity metrics

Effort metrics

Confounding metrics
