The usage of ISBSG data fields in software effort estimation: A systematic mapping study
We performed a systematic mapping study over 107 papers that use ISBSG data for effort estimation. Usage of dependent, filtering, and independent variables in effort models is described. Factors that guide the selection of relevant independent variables are described. Influence of estimation methods in the selection of variables has been outlined. References that have worked with a specific independent variable are listed.
