Formal Techniques

Numerous Web development companies worldwide do not employ formal techniques to estimate effort for new projects, thus relying on expert-based opinion (McDonald & Welland, 2001; Mendes, Mosley, & Counsell, 2005). In addition, many Web companies do not gather any data on past projects, which can later be used to estimate effort for new projects, and as a consequence they are not aware of how effort is used throughout their projects and if it could be used more effectively. This chapter provides a set of guidelines we believe can be of benefit to Web companies to help them improve their effort estimation practices. Our guidelines are particularly targeted at small Web development companies.

Effort models and effort estimates help project managers allocate resources, control costs and schedule, and improve current practices, leading to projects that are finished on time and within budget. In the context of Web development and maintenance, these issues are also crucial, and very challenging, given that Web projects have short schedules and a highly fluidic scope. Therefore, the objective of this chapter is to introduce the concepts related to Web effort estimation and effort estimation techniques. In addition, this chapter also details and compares, by means of a case study, three effort estimation techniques, chosen for this chapter because they have been to date the ones mostly used for Web effort estimation: Multivariate regression, Case-based reasoning, and Classification and Regression Trees. The case study uses data on industrial Web projects from Spanish Web companies.

Current Practices

Software effort models and effort estimates help project managers allocate resources, control costs, and schedule and improve current practices, which in theory should allow projects to be finished on time and within budget. In the context of Web development and maintenance, these issues are also crucial and very challenging given that Web projects have short schedules and a highly fluidic scope. Therefore, the objective of this chapter is to introduce the concepts related to Web effort estimation and effort estimation techniques. These concepts will be used in further chapters.

Software effort models and estimates help project managers allocate resources, control costs, and schedule and improve current practices, leading to projects that are finished on time and within budget. In the context of Web development and maintenance, these issues are also crucial, and very challenging, given that Web projects have short schedules and a highly fluidic scope. Therefore, this chapter presents a case study where a real effort prediction model based on data from completed industrial Web projects is constructed step by step using a statistical technique called regression analysis.

Aplikasi rekening bersama adalah aplikasi yang dibangun  untuk menghubungkan antara pembeli, penjual dan admin rekening bersama yang terintegrasi dengan baik, guna menghindari adanya kecurangan antara pembeli dan penjual. Penelitian ini merupakan pengembangan dari penelitian terdahulu, yang mana penelitian terdahulu mengggunakan dua komunikasi yaitu front end communication dan back end communication. Front end communication merupakan komunikasi antara pembeli, penjual dan admin rekening bersama yang dilakukan melalui aplikasi yang dibangun  sedangkan  back end communication merupakan komunikasi   yang dilakukan diluar dari aplikasi tersebut misalnya komunikasi antara admin rekeningg bersama dengan  kurir/ perusahaan pengiriman barang yang dilakukan merlalui telepon dan fax.  Pada penelitian ini  komuniksi antara pembeli, penjual dan admin  rekening bersama  dan  kurir/perusahaan pengiriman barang,  dilakukan hanya melalui aplikasi rekening bersama ( front end communication) . Dengan metode WDLC ( Web Development Life Cycle ). , dimana tahap pertama diawali dengan menganalisis dan mengevaluasi kembali aplikasi terdahulu untuk ditelaah lebih jauh  serta melanjutkan pengembangan perancangan dan  pengembangan aplikasi. Tahap ujicoba dilakukan dengan mengakses sebagai pembeli, penjual dan  admin rekening bersama dan kurir . Hasil yang didapat bahwa komunikasi antara pembeli, penjual dan admin rekening bersama  serta kurir dapat dilakukan secara frond end communiacation  atau komunikasi dilakukan hanya melalui aplikasi rekening bersama saja.
