Software Cost Estimation by Classical and Fuzzy Analogy for Web Hypermedia Applications: A replicated study

The aim of this paper is to evaluate and to compare the Classical Analogy and Fuzzy Analogy for software cost estimation on a Web software dataset. Hence, the paper aims to replicate the results of our precedent experiments on this dataset. Moreover, questions regarding the estimates accuracy, the tolerance of imprecision and uncertainty of cost drivers, and the favorable context to use estimation by analogy are discussed. This study approved the usefulness of Fuzzy Analogy for software cost estimation.
