Abstract :
Despite the existence of structured methods for software sizing and effort estimation, the so-called “expert” approach seems to be the prevalent way to produce estimates in the software industry. This article presents a method based on paired comparisons, which social science researchers use for measuring when there is no accepted measurement scale or when a measurement instrument does not exist. Although not new, the idea has received little attention in the literature
