On the Estimationof the Software Effort and Schedule using Constructive Cost Model – II and Functional Point Analysis

چکیده
Cost estimation is an important aspect for making high-quality management decisions in the software industry. It is also related to determining how much effort and schedule are needed to complete the task on time. The challenge is to predict the accuracy of software development effort and schedule. Several models and approaches are available in the literature for such problems. This paper provides a list of software cost estimation techniquesusing Constructive Cost Model – II (COCOMO-II), function points analysis,and comparison studyto validate these models using MRE (Magnitude of Relative Error). We collected and used data from real time projects and also completed projects from one of the major information technology company for the present study.

Impact of CMMI Based Software Process Maturity on COCOMO II's Effort Estimation
The software capability maturity model has become a popular model for enhancing software development processes with the goal of developing high-quality software within budget and schedule. The software cost estimation model, constructive cost model, in its last update (constructive cost model II) has a set of seventeen cost drivers and a set of five scale factors. Process maturity is one of the...
متن کاملA New Optimized Hybrid Model Based On COCOMO to Increase the Accuracy of Software Cost Estimation
The literature review shows software development projects often neither meet time deadlines, nor run within the allocated budgets. One common reason can be the inaccurate cost estimation process, although several approaches have been proposed in this field. Recent research studies suggest that in order to increase the accuracy of this process, estimation models have to be revised. The Construct...
متن کاملEffect of Schedule Compression on Project Effort in COCOMO II Model for Highly Compressed Schedule Ratings
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...

Nowadays, effort estimation in software projects is turned to one of the key concerns for project managers. In fact, accurately estimating of essential effort to produce and improve a software product is effective in software projects success or fail, which is considered as a vital factor. Lack of access to satisfying accuracy and little flexibility in existing estimation models have attracted ...
متن کاملA New Empirical Model to Increase the Accuracy of Software Cost Estimation (TECHNICAL NOTE)
We can say a software project is successful when it is delivered on time, within the budget and maintaining the required quality. However, nowadays software cost estimation is a critical issue for the advance software industry. As the modern software’s behaves dynamically so estimation of the effort and cost is significantly difficult. Since last 30 years, more than 20 models are already develo...
