RESUMO

Software maintenance is considered the phase that begins right after the implantation of the software product. Research shows the quantity of software maintenance projects in organizations to be much higher than development projects for new applications, requiring greater effort and expenditures, particularly related to critical software to the institutions. In virtue of this diagnosis, it is fundamental to adequately estimate software projects of this nature, with better planning and monitoring. A variety of techniques were proposed and used to calculate the software project estimates. However, most of the existing techniques are more adequate for software development projects or do not deal with the peculiarities of software maintenance. This paper proposes a technique that calculates estimates for software maintenance projects, using the TUCP (Technical Use Case Points), used in estimates of software development projects, based on use cases. TUCP-M (Technical Use Case Points for Software Maintenance) allows for a more accurate and simple calculation for estimating size, effort, schedule and costs of software maintenance projects. Keywords Metrics, Software Maintenance, Software Estimation.
