Practical No 13
Practical No 13 - Estimate the cost of the project using COCMOII approach for assign project.
Cocomo (Constructive Cost Model) is a regression model based on LOC, i.e number of Lines of Code. It is a procedural cost estimate model for software projects and is often used as a process of reliably predicting the various parameters associated with making a project such as size, effort, cost, time, and quality. It was proposed by Barry Boehm in 1981 and is based on the study of 63 projects, which makes it one of the best-documented models.
The key parameters which define the quality of any software products, which are also an outcome of the Cocomo are primarily Effort & Schedule:
- Effort: Amount of labor that will be required to complete a task. It is measured in person-months units.
- Schedule: Simply means the amount of time required for the completion of the job, which is, of course, proportional to the effort put in. It is measured in the units of time such as weeks, months.
COCOMO consists of a hierarchy of three increasingly detailed and accurate forms. Any of the three forms can be adopted according to our requirements. These are types of COCOMO model:
- Basic COCOMO Model
- Intermediate COCOMO Model
- Detailed COCOMO Model
The first level, Basic COCOMO can be used for quick and slightly rough calculations of Software Costs. Its accuracy is somewhat restricted due to the absence of sufficient factor considerations.
Intermediate COCOMO takes these Cost Drivers into account and Detailed COCOMO additionally accounts for the influence of individual project phases, i.e in case of Detailed it accounts for both these cost drivers and also calculations are performed phase-wise henceforth producing a more accurate result.
Result: Hence,We have calculated cost of bank management system using COCOMOII.
