Abstract

It would be beneficial if the quality of a software system could be estimated early in its lifecycle. Although many estimation methods exist, it is questionable whether the experiences gained in large software projects can successfully be transferred to small scale software development. The paper presents results obtained from a number of projects developed in a small company with limited resources. The projects were analyzed in order to find out metrics which would be suitable for early estimation of quality. A number of possible models were evaluated and discussed
