Micro-Project Report
1. Rationale:
Estimating the cost of the project using COCOMO and COCOMO-II.
2. Helps in making decisions based on business and financial calculations of the project.

4. Literature Review:
COCOMO Model I
The initial estimate (also called nominal estimate) is determined by an equation of the form used
in the static single variable models, using KDLOC as the measure of the size. To determine the
initial effort Ei in person-months the equation used is of the type is shown below
Ei=a*(KDLOC)b
The value of the constant a and b are depends on the project type.
1. Organic
2. Semidetached
3. Embedded
1.Organic: A development project can be treated of the organic type, if the project deals with
developing a well-understood application program, the size of the development team is reasonably
small, and the team members are experienced in developing similar methods of projects. Examples
of this type of projects are simple business systems, simple inventory management systems, and data
processing systems.
4
3. Embedded: A development project is treated to be of an embedded type, if the software being
developed is strongly coupled to complex hardware, or if the stringent regulations on the operational
method exist. For Example: ATM, Air Traffic control.
For three product categories, Bohem provides a different set of expression to predict effort (in a
unit of person month)and development time from the size of estimation in KLOC(Kilo Line of code)
efforts estimation takes into account the productivity loss due to holidays, weekly off, coffee breaks,
etc.
According to Boehm, software cost estimation should be done through three stages:
1. Basic Model
2. Intermediate Model
3. Detailed Model
1. Basic COCOMO Model: The basic COCOMO model provide an accurate size of the project
parameters. The following expressions give the basic COCOMO estimation model:
Effort=a1*(KLOC) a2 PM
Tdev=b1*(efforts)b2 Months
Where
KLOC is the estimated size of the software product indicate in Kilo Lines of Code,
Effort is the total effort required to develop the software product, expressed in person months
(PMs).
For the three classes of software products, the formulas for estimating the effort based on the
code size are shown below:
For the three classes of software products, the formulas for estimating the development time
based on the effort are given below:
Some insight into the basic COCOMO model can be obtained by plotting the estimated
characteristics for different software sizes. Fig shows a plot of estimated effort versus product size.
From fig, we can observe that the effort is somewhat superliner in the size of the software product.
Thus, the effort required to develop a product increases very rapidly with project size.
The development time versus the product size in KLOC is plotted in fig. From fig it can be
observed that the development time is a sub linear function of the size of the product, i.e. when the
size of the product increases by two times, the time to develop the product does not double but rises
6
moderately. This can be explained by the fact that for larger products, a larger number of activities
which can be carried out concurrently can be identified. The parallel activities can be carried out
simultaneously by the engineers. This reduces the time to complete the project. Further, from fig, it
can be observed that the development time is roughly the same for all three categories of products.
For example, a 60 KLOC program can be developed in approximately 18 months, regardless of
whether it is of organic, semidetached, or embedded type.
From the effort estimation, the project cost can be obtained by multiplying the required effort by
the manpower cost per month. But, implicit in this project cost computation is the assumption that
the entire project cost is incurred on account of the manpower cost alone. In addition to manpower
cost, a project would incur costs due to hardware and software required for the project and the
company overheads for administration, office space, etc.
It is important to note that the effort and the duration estimations obtained using the COCOMO
model are called a nominal effort estimate and nominal duration estimate. The term nominal implies
that if anyone tries to complete the project in a time shorter than the estimated duration, then the cost
will increase drastically. But, if anyone completes the project over a longer period of time than the
estimated, then there is almost no decrease in the estimated cost value.
7
Example1: Suppose a project was estimated to be 400 KLOC. Calculate the effort and
development time for each of the three model i.e., organic, semi-detached & embedded.
Effort=a1*(KLOC) a2 PM
Tdev=b1*(efforts)b2 Months
Estimated Size of project= 400 KLOC
(i)Organic Mode
(ii)Semidetached Mode
E = 3.0 * (400)1.12=2462.79 PM
D = 2.5 * (2462.79)0.35=38.45 PM
Example2: A project size of 200 KLOC is to be developed. Software development team has
average experience on similar type of projects. The project schedule is not very tight. Calculate the
Effort, development time, average staff size, and productivity of the project.
Solution: The semidetached mode is the most appropriate mode, keeping in view the size,
schedule and experience of development time.
Hence E=3.0(200)1.12=1133.12PM
D=2.5(1133.12)0.35=29.3PM
P = 176 LOC/PM
8
2. Intermediate Model: The basic Cocomo model considers that the effort is only a function of
the number of lines of code and some constants calculated according to the various software systems.
The intermediate COCOMO model recognizes these facts and refines the initial estimates obtained
through the basic COCOMO model by using a set of 15 cost drivers based on various attributes of
software engineering.
Hardware attributes -
Personnel attributes -
o Analyst capability
o Software engineering capability
o Applications experience
o Virtual machine experience
o Programming language experience
Project attributes -

The cost drivers are divided into four categories:

The effort is determined as a function of program estimate, and a set of cost drivers are given
according to every phase of the software lifecycle.

COCOMO Model II
1. Introduction
COCOMO 2 is tuned to modern software life cycles. The original COCOMO model has been
very successful, but it doesn't apply to newer software development practices as well as it does to
traditional practices. COCOMO II targets the software projects of the 1990s and 2000s, and will
continue to evolve over the next few years.
• To develop a software cost and schedule estimation model tuned to the life cycle
practices of the 1990's and 2000's.
• To develop software cost database and tool support capabilities for continuous model
improvement.
• To provide a quantitative analytic framework, and set of tools and techniques for
evaluating the effects of software technology improvements on software life cycle costs
and schedules.
Suitable for projects built with modern GUI-builder tools. Based on new Object Points.
You can use this model to get rough estimates of a project's cost and duration before you've
determined it's entire architecture. It uses a small set of new Cost Drivers, and new
estimating equations. Based on Unadjusted Function Points or KSLOC.
This is the most detailed COCOMO 2 model. You'll use it after you've developed your
project's overall architecture. It has new cost drivers, new line counting rules, and new
equations.
12
2. Application Composition : Object points
Object Point estimation is a relatively new software sizing approach, but it is wellmatched
to the practices in the Applications Composition sector. It is also a good match to associated
prototyping efforts, based on the use of a rapid-composition Integrated Computer Aided
Software Environment (ICASE) providing graphic user interface builders, software development
tools, and large, composable infrastructure and applications components. In these areas, it has
compared well to Function Point estimation on a nontrivial (but still limited) set of applications.
13
Definitions of terms in Figure are as follows:
• NOP: New Object Points (Object Point count adjusted for reuse)
• srvr: number of server (mainframe or equivalent) data tables used in conjunction with the
SCREEN or REPORT.
• clnt: number of client (personal workstation) data tables used in conjunction with the
SCREEN or REPORT.
• %reuse: the percentage of screens, reports, and 3GL modules reused from previous
applications, pro-rated by degree of reuse.
14
4. Converting Function Points to Lines of Code
To determine the nominal person months for the Early Design model, the unadjusted
function points have to be converted to source lines of code in the implementation language
(assembly, higher order language, fourth-generation language, etc.) in order to assess the relative
conciseness of implementation per function point.
15
5. Development Effort Estimates
In COCOMO II effort is expressed as Person Months (PM). person month is the amount of
time one person spends working on the software development project for one month.
The inputs are the Size of software development, a constant, A, and a scale factor, B. The size is
in units of thousands of source lines of code (KSLOC).
The constant, A, is used to capture the multiplicative effects on effort with projects of increasing
size.
The scale (or exponential) factor, B, accounts for the relative economies or diseconomies of
scale encountered for software projects of different sizes.
If B < 1.0, the project exhibits economies of scale. If the product's size is doubled, the project
effort is less than doubled. The project's productivity increases as the product size is increased. Some
project economies of scale can be achieved via projectspecific tools (e.g., simulations, testbeds) but
in general these are difficult to achieve. For small projects, fixed start-up costs such as tool tailoring
and setup of standards and administrative reports are often a source of economies of scale.
If B = 1.0, the economies and diseconomies of scale are in balance. This linear model is often
used for cost estimation of small projects. It is used for the COCOMO 2 Applications Composition
model.
If B > 1.0, the project exhibits diseconomies of scale. This is generally due to two main factors:
growth of interpersonal communications overhead and growth of largesystem integration overhead.
Larger projects will have more personnel, and thus more interpersonal communications paths
consuming overhead. Integrating a small product as part of a larger product requires not only the
effort to develop the small product, but also the additional overhead effort to design, maintain,
integrate, and test its interfaces with the remainder of the product.
A project's numerical ratings W are summed across all of the factors, and used to determine a
scale exponent B via the following formula:
16
Rating Scheme for the COCOMO 2.0 Scale Factors
The form of the Process Maturity scale is being resolved in coordination with the SEI. The intent
is to produce a process maturity rating as a weighted average of the project's percentage compliance
levels to the 18 Key Process Areas in Version 1.1 of the Capability Maturity Model-based [Paulk et
al. 1993] rather than to use the previous 1-to-5 maturity levels. The weights to be applied to the Key
Process Areas are still being determined.
COCOMO 2.0 uses a set of effort multipliers to adjust the nominal person-month estimate
obtained from the project’s size and exponent drivers:

7. Development Schedule Estimates
The initial baseline schedule equation for all three COCOMO 2.0 models is:
where TDEV is the calendar time in months from the determination of its requirements
baseline to the completion of an acceptance activity certifying that the product satisfies its
requirements. PM is the estimated person-months excluding the SCED effort multiplier, and
SCEDPercentage is the schedule compression / expansion percentage in the SCED cost driver
rating. Future versions of COCOMO 2.0 will have a more extensive schedule estimation model,
reflecting the different classes of process model a project can use; the effects of reusable and
COTS software; and the effects of applications composition capabilities.
