Effort-Oriented Methods and Tools for Software Development and Maintenance for Mobile Apps

The present research project aims to propose methods and tools for mobile applications development and maintenance that rely on effort information (estimations). Specifically, we will focus on two main challenges to overcome existing work: (i) conceiving effort estimation approaches that can be applied earlier in the development cycle and evolve through the development process (ii) prioritizing development and maintenance tasks by relying on effort estimation information.
