Abstract :
Software sizing is an important management activity for both customer and developer that is characterized by uncertainty. Fuzzy system modeling offers a means to capture and logically reason with uncertainty. The paper investigates the application of fuzzy modeling techniques to two of the most widely used software effort prediction models: the Constructive Cost Model and the Function Points model
