TLDR
Wang et al. as discussed by the authors proposed a Dynamic Heterogeneous Software Effort Estimation (DHSEE) model, which leverages the adversarial auto-encoder and convolutional neural network techniques.Abstract:
In Software Effort Estimation (SEE) practice, the data drought problem has been plaguing researchers and practitioners. Leveraging heterogeneous SEE data collected by other companies is a feasible solution to relieve the data drought problem. However, how to make full use of the heterogeneous effort data to conduct SEE, which is called as Heterogeneous Software Effort Estimation (HSEE), has not been well studied. In this paper, we propose a HSEE model, called Dynamic Heterogeneous Software Effort Estimation (i.e., DHSEE), which leverages the adversarial auto-encoder and convolutional neural network techniques. Meanwhile, we have investigated the scenario of conducting HSEE with dynamically increasing effort data. Experiments on ten public datasets indicate that our approach can significantly outperform the state-of-the-art HSEE method and other competing methods on both static and dynamic SEE scenarios.read more

Systematic literature review of machine learning based software development effort estimation models
TL;DR: A systematic literature review of empirical studies on ML model published in the last two decades finds that eight types of ML techniques have been employed in SDEE models, and overall speaking, the estimation accuracy of these ML models is close to the acceptable level and is better than that of non-ML models.
