Software Cost Estimating

Journal of Parametrics, 1984
Abstract : The objective of software cost estimating is to determine what resources will be needed to produce and to maintain the software associated with a project. Resources of particular interest in software cost estimating are manpower, computer time and elapsed time.

A survey on software cost estimation in the chinese software industry

Proceedings of the Second ACM-IEEE international symposium on Empirical software engineering and measurement, 2008
Although a lot of attention has been paid to software cost estimation since 1960, making accurate effort and schedule estimation is still a challenge. To collect evidence and identify potential areas of improvement in software cost estimation, it is important to investigate the estimation accuracy, the estimation method used, and the factors ...

Software Cost Estimation Meets Software Diversity

2017 IEEE/ACM 39th International Conference on Software Engineering Companion (ICSE-C), 2017
The previous goal of having a one-size-fits-all software cost (and schedule) estimation model is no longer achievable. Sources of wide variation in the nature of software development and evolution processes, products, properties, and personnel (PPPPs) require a variety of estimation models and methods best fitting their situations.

Software Cost Estimation

Global Sci-Tech, 2016
The development of a successfull software depends upon the accurate estimation, as various factors are responsible for the overall assessment of any project. The Sofware Cost Estimation is the most complicated and challenging task in software industry. Many estimation models are introduced by the time, that concludes estimation is not a precise science

Estimating software development schedules and costs

Proceedings of the ninth design automation workshop on Design automation - DAC '72, 1972
Estimates of large scale software development schedules and associated costs have had a history of being wrong more than right. The landscape is littered with examples of such projects, including some design automation systems, which were over a year late in becoming operational and costing millions of dollars more than estimated. There are a number of

Estimating Costs for Agent Oriented Software

2006
Despite the progress in agent oriented software engineering, there is still a long way before achieving maturity. Among others, there is a lack of shared experience in evaluating the cost when developing software using the agent paradigm. This paper provides some results on this issue. It collects data from real agent based projects and gives hints for

Estimating the Cost of Security for COTS Software

2003
This paper describes enhancements being made to the University of Southern California's COnstructive COTS (COCOTS) integration cost model to address security concerns. The paper starts by summarizing the actions we have taken to enhance COCOMO II to model the impact of security on development effort and duration.

Estimating the costs of software maintenance tasks

Proceedings of International Conference on Software Maintenance, 2002
In order to control the maintenance process, it is necessary to be able to accurately predict maintenance costs. This paper proposes ways of extending current cost estimation methods to the estimation of maintenance costs, by means of impact analysis, proportional sizing, quality assessment and productivity adjustment.
