| The software project cost estimation having played an important role in the developed of the software project. It is difficult to estimate the cost of project . COCOMO II is a model that allows one to estimate the cost, effort, and schedule when planning a new software development activity. This model has been used widely at abroad. For instance, COSTAR By Softstar Systems Amherst, NH, Cost Xpert By Cost Xpert Group San Diego, CA, ESTIMATE Professional By Software Productivity Centre Vancouver, BC, Canada. There are someother cost estimation projects based on other model, such as Construx Estimate v2. 0. Estimate Easy UC based on use case, KnowledgePlan, NASA Cost Estimation, PRICE-S and SEER, SLIM. Most of these products cover over both the software project cost estimation field and the project management.The original COCOMO model was first published by Dr. Barry Boehm in 1981, and reflected the software development practices of the day. In recent year software development techniques changed dramatically. The changes and others began to make applying the original COCOMO model problematic. Company with the changes in professional software development practice that have come about since the 1970s result in the COCOMO II. This new, improved COCOMO is now ready to assist professional software cost estimators for many years to come.This article probe into the courses and methods when making an software project cost estimation. Analyse the problem of the software project cost estimation at home. Try to build a system to estimate the software project's cost frequently and conveniently. |
