result & Conclusion

We believe that this study is an important reference model and addition for Palestinian companies that can help them calculate the effort needed to perform their software projects in terms of cost, delivery time and number of resources.We would like to add that we have designed the extension of the Triangulation method to be able to control and adjust the project delivery time by varying the allocated resources (e.g.,the number of engineers).This model can be used as a guideline to get better and more accurate effort estimates.

result & Conclusion

We believe that this study is an important reference model and addition for Palestinian companies that can help them calculate the effort needed to perform their software projects in terms of cost, delivery time and number of resources. This model can be used as a guideline to get better and more accurate effort estimates. We chose the Triangulation technique, did intensive experimentation and validation using actual data and the results were very promising. We have chosen the triangulation technique for several reasons, the most important of which is its suitability for the Palestinian IT companies as small-team / small-business projects. On the other hand, we have checked this data against other formal techniques (like COCOMO technique), and it found that they did not serve the needs of Palestinian IT sector.
We would like to add that we have designed the extension of the Triangulation method to be able to control and adjust the project delivery time by varying the allocated resources (e.g.,the number of engineers). There were several factors taken into consideration such as the acceptance test factor, risk factor, reduction factor, and their relevant combinations .
