Enhancements and Extensions of Formal Models for Risk Assessment in Software Projects

Abstract

Over the past 40 years limited progress has been made to help practitioners estimate the risk and the required effort necessary to deliver software solutions. Recent developments improve this outlook, one in particular, the research conducted by Juan Carlos Nogueira. Dr. Nogueira developed a formal model for risk assessment that can be used to estimate a software project's risk when examined against a desired development time-line. This model is based on easily obtainable software metrics. These metrics are quantifiable early in the software development process.
