Abstract

Software effort modeling is one of the fields in which machine learning techniques have proved effective. In this paper, attempt has been made to establish a relation between program development time with respect to its dependence on various program and personnel attributes. A neural network model has been developed to predict the development time of various software programs. The model is a three layer feed forward network with 17 neurons in the hidden layer. The model has 5 inputs and 1 output.
