Project estimation is one of the most challenging duties of project managers. Among various estimation methods, Use Case Points is the most reliable method. If you are not familiar with UCP please read this article.
As you may know, Use Case Points method involves different factors and needs calculation. For most software project managers it seems difficult and time consuming to use it manually.
In this article I will show you how to estimate a software project using Sprax Enterprise Architect (EA) which is a famous CASE tool. (I used EA 7.5 in this article)
Based on Rational Unified Process (RUP), In order to estimate software projects duration, you need to recognize the project features and requirements first. This leads you to Use Cases that are cores of a software project analysis model and you cannot estimate any software project without recognizing its Use Cases. Requirements, Features and Use Cases recognition are usually done in the first phase of RUP, Inception.
