Testing of Owner Estimate Cost Model with Android-based Application

Abstract

This research continues previous research by testing the owner estimate cost (OEC) model in Android-based application development projects. Previously, the model of OEC had been tested with nine general software project data which produced acceptable accuracy. In this study, the same model was tested with 5 android-based software projects to find out the consistency of the model with test data that was different from before. To test the accuracy of the results using the magnitude of relative error (MRE) for each software's owner estimate cost and mean of MRE (MMRE). The test results with 5 android-based applications show that this model is also consistent and has an acceptable level of accuracy.
