Abstract: The development of software according to the required demand of customer. So it is important to find the effort required to develop the software. The estimation is done using the particle swarm optimization technique by applying the weights in the neural network. The usage of NN helps in estimating the efforts of the software with less cost and failure rates. The NN is utilized together with optimization to attain an enhanced outcome. The dataset utilized as input to the proposed system is the COCOMO dataset. The actual effort in the COCOMO dataset is measured by person-month which represents the number of months that one person needs to develop a given project. The proposed method gives the accurate estimation compared to the existing models.
