What is it about?
Change effort estimation is needed not only in software maintenance phase, but also in the software development phase. Many techniques have been developed to estimate required change effort for a particular change request. One of these techniques is impact analysis. Two types of impact analysis which are static and dynamic impact analysis.

Why is it important?
One main challenge of the change effort estimation technique from a software development perspective is that the existence of inconsistent states of some software artefacts, i.e. some classes have completely developed and some of them partially developed. This research proposes a new change effort estimation model that overcomes this challenge using a combination of static and dynamic analysis techniques.
Perspectives
The paper's significant perspectives are two-fold: (i) a new change effort estimation model using static and dynamic analysis techniques for software development phase; and (ii) demonstration of significant achievements of the approach via extensive experimental validation using several case studies.
