can be used to solve the model. Very few real world problems involve only two variables. For problems with more than two variables‚ we need to use complex techniques and tedious calculations to find the optimal solution. The spreadsheet and solver approach makes solving optimization problems a fairly simple task and it is more useful for students who do not have strong mathematics background. The first step is to organize the spreadsheet to represent the model. We use separate cells to represent decision

Software effort estimation‚ measured in number of hours required to develop software‚ is an important activity associated with any software development company. It is used for investment planning and pricing of the software development. One approach usually used for software effort estimation is through Function Point Analysis (FPA). First made public by Allan Albrecht of IBM in 1979‚ the FPA technique quantifies the functions contained within software in terms that are meaningful to the software
