Abstract
The software system development came in to existence around 60 years ago. Right
from the start to until date the software engineering is continuously evolving the new techniques
for developing fast, cheap and top quality software. During this paper, we've given an outline of
existing size and effort estimates for software. Of these estimates are delineated a lot of or less
on their own. Size & effort estimation could be a very talked-about task. Everything revolves
around cost, schedule and quality. One such evolving field of software development is estimation
models for software size and effort. Software size estimation is one among the most necessary
inputs for software cost and effort estimation. Therefore improving the accuracy of software size
estimation ultimately results in improving the accuracy of the software effort and cost estimates.
These estimates are utilized in staffing, scheduling, planning, budgeting etc. however after we
figure these estimates, solely high level project necessities are accessible to us. Using this high
level data to provide correct software size estimates could be an extremely difficult task.
