| Abstract | Accurate development effort estimation is a challenging issue in the management of software projects because it can considerably affect the planning and scheduling of a software project. Over the past few years, many algorithmic and non-algorithmic methods have been proposed to estimate the development effort in the early stages of project. Due to simplicity and estimation capability, analogy-based estimation (ABE) method has been widely accepted by researchers in this area. In spite of the fact that ABE is an efficient estimation method, it suffers from the non-normality and heterogeneous nature of software project datasets. Although prior studies have strived to remedy this issue by weighting, soft computing, and clustering techniques, the estimate accuracy is still not convincing and attempts are ongoing to reach more reliable estimates. The problem is that prior ABE-based studies have not considered the nature of software projects in the estimation process. This paper aims to show the effect of selective project classification and estimation process localization on the performance of ABE. An exhaustive investigation is conducted based on different development types, organization types, and development platforms as three underlying attributes in software projects. An evaluation framework is designed to reveal the ABE performance when it is combined with the proposed classification. A real dataset that includes 448 software projects is utilized for the evaluation purposes. The promising results showed that the estimate accuracy is significantly improved and the estimation process is considerably expedited if the nature of software projects is considered in the ABE method. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
