Software cost and effort estimation is a necessary step in the software development lifecycle to track progress, manage resources, and negotiate. Though many accepted cost models exist, local calibration results in more accurate estimates. Locally calibrating Unified Code Count (UCC)’s dataset based on COCOMO (Constructive Cost Model)® II helped UCC’s development team learn which factors affected...
There is large uncertainty with the software cost in the early stages of software development due to requirement volatility, incomplete understanding of product domain, reuse opportunities, market change, etc. This makes it an increasingly challenging issue to deliver software on time, within budget, and with satisfactory quality in the IT field. In this paper, we introduce the Schedule as Independent...
Software cost estimates become more accurate as more information becomes available, but are needed early for business case analyses, bids, and resource management. Use Case Points satisfy the ability to make software size estimates early in the lifecycle because they only require understanding how an actor will use the system. Though Use Case Points are easy to calculate, they might over-simplify...
Team synchronization and stabilization are essential - especially for large software projects. However, often little is done to assess and reduce the uncertainties and knowledge gaps that exist within the project. As the project progresses through its life cycle, the team can gain more information about the project and team's capabilities. These necessary data can be obtained through performing assessments...
