摘　　要：软件成本估算是软件项目开发周期、管理决策和软件项目质量中最重要的问题之一。针对软件研发成本估算在软件行业中普遍存在不准确、难以估算的问题,提出一种基于加权类比的软件成本估算方法,将相似度距离定义为具有相关性的马氏距离,通过优化的粒子群算法优化后得到权值,并用类比法估算软件成本。实验结果表明,该方法具有比非加权类比、神经网络等非计算模型方法更高的精确度。实际案例测试表明,该方法在软件开发初期基于需求分析的软件成本估算比专家估算有更精确的评估结果。Software cost estimation is one of the most important issues in the cycle of development,management decision,and in the quality of software project.Aiming at the common problems of software cost estimation in the software industry,such as inaccuracy of cost estimation and estimation difficulty,this paper presented a weighted analogy-based software cost estimation method.In this method,the similarity distance is defined as the Mahalanobis distance with correlation,and the weight is obtained by particle swarm optimization.The software cost is estimated by analogy method.The result shows that this method has high accuracy compared with non-computational based model methods such as non-weighted analogy and neural networks.At the same time,the actual cases show that this method is more accurate than expert estimation in software cost estimation based on demand analysis at the early stage of software development.
