  • Abstract
    Distribution of effort in software engineering process has been the basis for facilitating more reasonable software project planning. This paper reports empirical results on activity effort distribution patterns of a series of industrial software maintenance projects. The results show that with respect to different influencing factors, the projects demonstrate large variations in their activity effort distribution, which necessitates appropriate adjustments to strategic planning.
