Abstract
Software effort estimation is the process of estimating the cost and time required to develop a software system. It plays a prominent role in software project decisions like resource allocation and bidding which are major parts of planning where as the substratal goals of planning are to scout for the future, to diagnose the attributes that are essentially done for the consummation of the project successfully. So, the effective Software cost estimation is one of the most challenging and important activities in Software development. This paper articulates the new model using fuzzy logic to estimate effort required in software development. We use MATLAB for tuning the parameters of famous various cost estimation models. The performance of model is evaluated on published software projects data. Comparison of results from our model with existing ubiquitous models is done.
