Web cost estimation

Mendes et al. (2001) investigated the prediction accuracy of top-down and

bottom-up Web cost estimation models, generated using linear and stepwise
multiple regression models. They employed one dataset with data on 37 Web
applications developed by honors and postgraduate computer science
students. Gathered measures were organized into five categories: length
size, reusability, complexity size, effort, and confounding factors (factors
that, if not controlled, could influence the validity of the evaluation), and are
associated to one of the following entities: application, page, media and
program.
