Abstract

When addressing mobile applications, it is a technological landscape that is emerging with new requirements and restrictions requires a reassessment of current knowledge about the processes of development of these types of systems. These new systems have different features, ranging from planning to completion of the design, and therefore a particular area that is being addressed differently when it comes to estimating software. The estimation processes in general are based on characteristics of the systems to attempt to quantify the complexity of the implementation. For this reason, it is important to analyze the main models currently proposed for estimating software projects and consider whether it is suitable for mobile computing. Thus, the main objective of this paper is to present an estimation method for mobile applications still in the design phase, giving basis for all the features addressed in this scenario.
