Paper Abstract:
|
Estimation of time and costs is a crucial factor in an application development project and low error margins are a priority. This principle is also true for development projects for applications based on Web technology (Web Applications WA), considering that the evolution of this technology makes it possible to model not only specific services (e.g. e-commerce, Internet Banking) but also important modules of a company's information system. The aim of this study is to illustrate the estimating process of a real Web Application which was modelled and implemented as part of a European project called UWA. The model considered in this estimating process is MMWA (Metrics Model for Web Applications), a model classified as early measures which takes into account all the specific characteristics of a Web Application. The paper does not go into the principles and planning choices associated with MMWA, but examines how the model must be used, the final results obtained from the estimating process, the difference between this and the actual effort required, and how this experience fits into the broader context of experimentation with MMWA. |
