Estimation Planning Questionnaire

Function Points sizing of functional requirements and statistical skills issues for data analysis - Game A

Game narrative
This is a learning game designed to simulate the process of constructing a linear regression estimation model in a software engineering context.

As a player, you have to:

  1. Select the right employee (from six available profiles) based on their skills in measurement and statistics.
  2. Work on two resources, one after the other: 30 In-House Projects, then 100 ISBSG Data.
  3. For each resource, choose the correct pair of task sequences required to complete the estimation model.

Each task sequence is a series of analytical steps represented by icons in the game:

Step Name Description
Outlier Outlier Projects too large that may mislead interpretation of the model's strength.
R-square R-square (R²) Strength of the size-effort relationship.
Measurement Measurement Knowledge of early sizing and data preparation.
Descriptive Descriptive Basic statistics describing the quantitative sample data.
MMRE MMRE Analyse the dispersion of the projects across the regression model.
