Use Case Point Estimation
Use case point (UCP) estimation quantifies software development effort by analyzing use cases and environmental factors. Introduced by Karner (1993) for Objectory methodology, UCP provides structured approach to estimate labor hours from system requirements. Organizations use UCP to forecast project duration, allocate resources, and validate high-level project plans early in development.
