Hello all, I am building a web application that has very high requirement. I wanted to build it first in silverlight and activex, with javascript breaching between them. Later I started considering using xbap. The problem is that xbap demands .net 3.0, and before starting to write an application with such demands I wanted to have a gene...
I have been tasked recently to estimate number of concurent users that IIS can handle. Unfortunately, I have 0 experience with IIS, so I hope someone will guide me where to look. I hope I will not have to do my own benchmarking in this phase. I would like to know what is the number of concurrent connections that it can handle. The clie...
with agile estimating, is it true some say to choose intervals like 1/2 to 1.5 days only? ...
Hi, I am new to Spring framework. I was recently part of a Task where an estimation for a Spring/Hibernate based web application was being prepared. We had Functional & Business requirements and detailed Use Cases. I was asked to prepare a list of the inventory or Work Item types (Controllers, Entities, DAOs, ServiceClasses, Application...
Is LOC correct parameter for project estimation? there are so many scenarios where complexity takes much more time for a single line of code, other than LOC what could be the suggested parameter for project estimation? As peoples are talking about functional point of program does it mean for use case related information? i am trying t...
We're trying to get a budget together for a new project. We would like to break out code review time separately. What's a good rule of thumb for how many hours of code review are required for each hour of software development? Ballpark estimates and anecdotes are fine. (Figure a 3 developer team on this one.) ...
In software developement project.. While preparing a gantt chart, which things we should take care? ...
Does anyone use a rule of thumb basis to estimate the effort required for testing as a percentage of the effort required for development? And if so what percentage do you use? ...
Ok here's the story: I manage a team of 3 developers that have been working on, and recently completed, a 1 1/2 year project for one of our largest clients. The project is a web application written in .NET 3.5 MVC 1.0 SQL 2005. Their requirements for the program were such that we had to build 10 robust completely ajax controls; one of ...
Sometimes I find myself needing to do something that could be automated or could be manual. E.g. I just ran a particular script 8 times, making a small change in between each run. I certainly could have written a script that would have automated this, but in this instance I decided it was quicker to just run it manually each time. But...
I have been using agile approaches (XP and Scrum) for my projects for several years with great results. But in all cases, all members of the dev team were committed 100% to the project. Now I am faced with doing this when the team is not stable. For instance, one iteration there may be four people working, the next maybe only two or thr...
Hi, I am new to software project time estimation. I have learned that people are using some techniques such as ‘Function point analysis’ , ‘Cocomo model’ etc. Can you tell me the some of the latest and best techniques? Also would you please let me know some good tutorial links for these models so that I could go through them and unde...
hello, I am looking for test effort estimation template...Please share with me if anyone have good template. ...
Hello, I've been learning Scrum and trying a tool called Acunote for use with it. My question is about two fields I have there, for each task. They're "estimate" and "remaining". What unit should I use for those? Do I use Story Points? What about the remaining? For example I have a task that will take 10 units, let's say. I fill the re...
On the software development projects that you have worked on, what has been the approximate cost (expressed as a percentage of total system cost) of system integration? System integration includes integrating with other software, databases, etc. ...
I am the scrum master for a small team of 4 developers. The project we are working on has a lot of tasks that we have never done before and cannot easily estimate in a sprint planning meeting. What is the best way for me to run a sprint with this uncertainty? I am finding it very hard to finish a sprint with a potentially releasable p...
If I have an algorithm which is comprised of (let's say) three sub-algorithms, all with different O() characteristics, e.g.: algorithm A: O(n) algorithm B: O(log(n)) algorithm C: O(n log(n)) How do I theoretically estimate the O() for the entire algorithm? I.e. not clocking it or performing any other practical measurement. Is there...
I have the following available: last reported lat,lon w/timestamp target lat,lon estimated time to target heading How can I interpolate an estimated position over time? I know that's enough to calculate the required average velocity for the remainder of the trip. Given a straight-line distance, it's pretty trivial. I know it has to ...
What should be the main point to keep in mind when estimating the time for Research and Development task. Suppose I have to estimate "ABC" task using "WPF" technology and I have no experience for it, I need to some R&D for it. ...
We've all poked fun at the 'X minutes remaining' dialog which seems to be too simplistic, but how can we improve it? Effectively, the input is the set of download speeds up to the current time, and we need to use this to estimate the completion time, perhaps with an indication of certainty, like '20-25 mins remaining' using some Y% con...
