Techniques are provided for calculating effort of a software application. The techniques include obtaining a detailed use case model (DUCM) of the software application, computing a multi-dimensional metrics vector (MMV) based on the DUCM, using a size model for the MMV to estimate a size of the software application, and inputting the MMV and the size into an effort model, wherein the effort model is used to calculate the effort required to build the software application. Techniques are also provided for representing a DUCM of a software application.
