Software effort and cost estimation are crucial parts of software project development. It determines the budget, time, resources needed to develop a project. The success development depends mainly on accuracy estimation. A poor will impact result, which worsens management. Various model has been introduced resolve this problem. COnstructive COst MOdel (COCOMO) is well-established model; however...

Software development effort prediction is one of the most key activities in software industry. Many models have been proposed to build a relationship between software size and effort; however we still have problems for effort prediction. This is because project data, available in the primary stages of project is often inadequate, unpredictable, uncertain and unclear. The need for accurate effor...

This paper presents the effect of ‘schedule compression’ on software project management effort using COCOMO II (Constructive Cost Model II), considering projects which require more than 25 percent of compression in their schedule. At present, COCOMO II provides a cost driver for applying the effect of schedule compression or expansion on project effort. Its maximum allowed compression is 25 per...

The rapid pace of change in software technology requires everybody in the software business to continually rethink and update their practices just to stay relevant and effective. This article discusses this challenge first with respect to the USC COCOMO II software cost modeling project, and then for softwareintensive organizations in general. It then presents a series of adaptive feedback loop...

Özet. Yazılım geliştirme maliyetleri, ölçüm ve kestirim yöntemlerinin çeşitli yetersizliklerinden dolayı sık sık kontrol dışına çıkmaktadır. Planlanan zaman ve bütçeyi aşan çok sayıda proje mevcuttur. Zaman, gereken çaba, dolayısıyla da bütçe tahminini başta doğru yapamamak, bunun en temel nedenlerinden biridir. Bu çalışma ile sektörde yaygın olarak kullanılan nesne yönelimli programlama diller...

Software cost estimation is the process of predicting the effort required to develop a software system. The basic input for the software cost estimation is coding size and set of cost drivers; the output is effort in terms of Person-Months. Here, the use of FPA and COCOMO has been proposed for the estimation of software project cost. It was found the FPA results for first case study WBDDDS was ...

Statistical analysis is greatly hindered with missing information. It represents a loss of key data, but worse, it can introduce biased results in the analysis. A way to rectify the problem of missing data is to employ a sound method of imputation, a way to replace missing values with reasonable estimates. Their exists variety of estimation models like SLIM, COCOMO and other models like machine...
