What are the evaluation methods for software workloads?

Evaluation method of software workload

Common software workload evaluation methods are: Empirical method (Delphi method, analogy method), model method (one-dimensional linear relationship, multivariate linear relationship, one-dimensional nonlinear relationship, multivariate nonlinear relationship)

The process of estimating Delphi methods

Advantages and Disadvantages of Delphi method

Pros: 1. Can produce very accurate results 2. Suitable for any size product.

Cons: 1. Relies on a few experts 2. To consume more time 3. There may be common prejudice.

Pert Sizing Evaluation Method

Pert Sizing is a weighted average method that can be used to estimate the size, workload, and cost of a software project, and in estimating each task, the first estimates are given in the best, probable, pessimistic three cases: a,m,b

Then calculate the expected value with the following formula, expected value = (a+4*m+b)/6

the advantages and disadvantages of the PERT sizing evaluation method : 1. It is an effective pre-control method. 2. Enhance the overall concept and acceptance of the plan. 3. Make control work more productive and effective. Disadvantage: It does not apply to all planning and control projects, and its application areas are more restrictive. The project that applies the PERT method must have the following conditions: 1, the work process of the project can be accurately described in advance; 2, the whole process of work is divided into relatively independent activities, 3, to be able to estimate the time and resources of each activity more accurately beforehand.
