jit.6.4.13849 Automated Software Size Estimation Methods And Techniques: A Review V.K. Attri J.S. Bal Journal on Information Technology 2277-5250 6 4 38 42 10.26634/jit.6.4.13849 Metric, Object Oriented Code Size Estimation, Software Size Estimation, Unified Modeling Language Source code size is exercised as input to numerous parametric software estimation models. But it is rarely presented at the initial phase of software development. For software project planning, accurately determining the software size estimation at the early stage is a very important parameter. This paper aims to provide a basis for estimating the software size at the early stage of the software development process through a systematic review of previous works. The authors have reviewed the current techniques of size estimation to identify their strengths and weaknesses. September - November 2017 Copyright © 2017 i-manager publications.
