Graph based transfer learning with orthogonal tunning for functionality size insights
Achieve Near-Perfect Functional Size Estimation with Advanced Graph Neural Networks and Transfer Learning
Our hybrid methodology integrates traditional Function Point Analysis (FPA) frameworks (IFPUG4+, NESMA) with cutting-edge Graph Neural Networks (GSDNN, PSI-GNN) and transfer learning, dramatically reducing estimation errors to below 1%. This approach enhances accuracy, computational efficiency, and interpretability by mapping software metrics into graph structures, optimizing hyper-parameters with Taguchi's orthogonal arrays, and leveraging SHAP for feature importance. We achieved a minimum Mean Magnitude Relative Error (MMRE) of 0.97% using PSI-GNN across 1704 industrial software projects, demonstrating superior performance and robustness for complex software estimation.

Real-world Application: Optimizing Project X Estimations
A large enterprise faced significant cost overruns and delays in software projects due to inaccurate effort estimations. By implementing our PSI-GNN methodology with pre-trained layers, they reduced estimation errors by an average of 80%, leading to a 15% decrease in project budget deviations and a 10% faster time-to-market. The interpretability features also enhanced stakeholder trust and facilitated better resource allocation.
