摘要：Computer literacy and competitive pressures among end users is increasing day by day due to whichtheneed for End-User Programming in software packages is also increasing for rapid, flexible, and userdriven information processing solutions. End User Development out-sources development effort to the enduser by enabling softwaredevelopers to create information systems that can even be adapted by technicallyinexperienced endusers and hence are in great demand. If end user decides to pay the price and addsignificant programmability to their system, there are additional costs to consider before end user can startto enjoy the payoff. It is important to calculate accurateand early estimation of software size forcalculatingeffort and cost estimation of software systems incorporating EUD features. With the evolution of objectorientation, use cases emerged as a dominant method for structuring requirements. Use cases wereintegrated into the Unified Modeling Language (UML) and Unified Process and became the standard forSoftware Engineering requirements modelling. The Use Case Point (UCP)methodestimates project size byassigning points to use cases in the same way that Function Point Analysis (FPA) assigns points tofunctions. This paper discusses the concept of end-user programming and Advancement of UCP by addingend-user development/programming as an additional Effort Estimation Factor (EEF).
