Abstract
Accurate effort estimates plays crucial role in software development process. These estimates are used for planning, controlling and managing resources. This paper deals with the statistical value of Use Case Points method parameters, while analytical programming for effort estimation is used. The main question of this paper is : Are there any parameters in Use Case Points method, which can be omitted from the calculation and the results will be better? The experimental results show that this method improving accuracy of Use Case Points method if and only if UUCW parameter is present in the calculation.
