Abstract

The context of mobile applications, is a technological scenario that is emerging with new requirements and restrictions requires a reevaluation of current knowledge about the processes of planning and building software systems. These new systems have different characteristics and, therefore, an area in particular that demands such adaptation is software estimation. The estimation processes, in general, are based on characteristics of the systems, trying to quantify the complexity of implementing them. For this reason, it is important to analyze the methods currently proposed for software projects estimation and evaluate their applicability to this new context of mobile computing. Hence, the main objective of this paper is to present a partial validation of the proposed model estimate.
