Abstract
In this work, we report a study carried out to identify a set of metrics to early estimate the development effort of mobile apps. The applied methodology was inspired by the work of Mendes et al. who addressed a similar problem in the field of web apps. In particular, we extracted an initial set of metrics by analyzing the online quotes forms that companies made available on their websites. Afterward, a Delphi approach with four project managers was employed to identify the proposed set of 41 relevant factors.
