A SURVEY ON METRICS, MODELS & TOOLS OF SOFTWARE COST ESTIMATION

The True Planning software cost model size measures may be expressed in different size units including source lines of code (SLOC), function points, pre- dictive object points (POPs)

Software Cost Estimation is one of the crucial matters in software development. This research focuses the behavior of Software Cost Estimation Models according to different

A set of data quoted by Desharnais (1988) from 81 software projects was used to assess these measures of estimation accuracy and consistency, and regression criteria.. The main

The Constructive Cost Model (COCOMO) was developed by Barry Boehm of TRW and published in 1981 Based on his analysis of 63 software-development projects; Boehm

Algorithmic cost modelling uses a mathematical formula to predict project costs based on estimates of the project size, the number of software engineers, and other pro- cess and

Three software metrics have been proposed namely; Total Test Cost Metric (TTCM), Test and Development Cost % age Metric (TDC%M) and Total Software Product Cost for

Software estimation is now sophisticated enough so that a formal estimate using one or more of the 50 commercial software estimation tools in conjunction with software
