Analyzing the Relationship between Project Productivity and Environment Factors in the Use Case Points Method

Mohammad Azzeh, Ali Bou Nassif

Project productivity is a key factor for producing effort estimates from Use Case Points (UCP), especially when the historical dataset is absent. The first versions of UCP effort e…
