Q1 lethe context of cost estimation models answer the following questions:


A software project of application generator category with estimated size of 100 KLOC has
to be developed. The scale factor (B) has high percedentness, high development flexibility.
Other factors are nominal. The cost drivers are high reliability, medium database size, high
Personnel capability, high analyst capability. The other cost drivers are nominal. Calculate
the effort in Person-Months for the development of the project.
b Compute the function point value for aproject with the following information domain 6
characteristics.
Number of user inputs = 30 1
Number of user outputs = 42
Number of user enquiries = 08
Number of files 07
Number of external interfaces =6
Assume that all complexity adjustment values are moderate
