Abstract
This paper investigates proposed code-based measures for multimedia co urseware as part of an on-going program of research into effort estima tion models. The proposed code-based size measures are analysed using source code and project data from WinEcon courseware written in the To olBook authoring language. Statistical analysis of a priori, ToolBook specific and portable subsets of 47 code measurements are presented al ong with proposed predictive models of courseware development effort b ased on a priori, best subset and portable subset modelling assumption s.
