Size a(cid:374)d effort, a(cid:374)d o(cid:271)je(cid:272)t-orie(cid:374)ted: estimating questions addressed. Statistical variance & fundamental inaccuracy of estimating methods: you can use multiple methods to increase confidence, 2. Identify the actors and assign a weight based on how they interact with the system of interest: 2. Sum the weights for the actors in all use cases to obtain the unadjusted actor weight, Identify use cases, and assign a complexity to each use case based on the number of transactions or scenarios that each use case contains: alte(cid:396)(cid:374)ati(cid:448)el(cid:455), (cid:455)ou (cid:272)a(cid:374) use (cid:862)a(cid:374)al(cid:455)sis (cid:272)lasses(cid:863) to esti(cid:373)ate the use (cid:272)ase complexity. I prefer this method because it is less subjective: 4. Sum the weight for all the use cases to obtain the unadjusted use case weight, uucw: 5. Sum uaw and uucw to obtain the size in unadjusted use case points (uucps: 6. Adjust for the technical complexity of the product by rating the degree of influence of each of the 13 factors.
