Exercise

• (1) What kind of benefits can be achieved by an organization through the usage of fuzzy concepts in software cost prediction over the COCOMO?
• (2) How does early defect prediction support software quality?
• (3) In software effort estimation, ANN and fuzzy concepts can be used to achieve highly accurate predictions. Suggest some scenarios where ANN could be better than the Fuzzy approach and vice versa.
• (4) What are the possible situations when GA concepts cannot be used to improve software testing quality?
• (5) Why is SVM a better solution for SDP?
