Simplifying Software Estimations with Use Case Points

The Use Case Points (UCP) approach helps estimate development time by identifying and categorizing software features based on their complexity. Each feature is assigned a rating—Simple, Average, or Complex—and corresponding time estimates. For example, in an app that tracks inventory, tasks like listing products (Simple), updating inventory levels (Complex), and sending email alerts (Average) are rated and assigned timeframes, helping developers accurately allocate effort and resources for each task.
