	COCOMO - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		COCOMO is a model designed by Barry Boehm to give an estimate of the number of programmer-months it will take to develop a software product.
		Basic COCOMO - is a static single-valued model that computes software development effort (and cost) as a function of program size expressed in estimated lines of code.
		Advanced COCOMO - incorporates all characteristics of the intermediate version with an assessment of the cost driver's impact on each step (analysis, design, etc.) of the software engineering process.

		The original COCOMO model was a set of models; 3 development modes (organic, semi-detached, and embedded) and 3 levels (basic, intermediate, and advanced).
		Advanced - on top of the intermediate model, the advanced model allows phase-based cost driver adjustments and some adjustments at the module, component, and system level.
		COCOMO starts from an estimate of size and uses subjective assessment of 15 (independent?) cost drivers (based on 63 datasets) to estimate effort.

		The Basic COCOMO equations take the form:,E = ab KLOC bb,D = cb E db Required Person, P = E / D where E is the effort applied in person-months, D is the development time in chronological months and KLOC is the estimated number of delivered lines of code for the project (express in thousands).
		COCOMO estimates may be applicable to projects involving at least ten programmers; with fewer programmers, variations in team ability overwhelm all other factors.
		Introduction to the COCOMO II Model The most fundamental calculation in the COCOMO model is the use of the Effort Equation to estimate the number of Person-Months required to develop a project.

		The Advanced COCOMO model incorporates all characteristics of the intermediate version with an assessment of the cost driver's impact on each step (analysis, design, etc.) of the software engineering process.
		Because the COCOMO model assumes considerably lower LOC/pm levels than those discussed in SEPA, 5/e, the results are not surprising.
		To be useful in the context of the example problem, the COCOMO model would have to be recalibrated to the local environment.

	COCOMO
		COCOMO II is defined using intermediate calculations, but the COCOMO 81 models let you choose between the Intermediate mode and the Detailed mode.
		In some of the later COCOMO models, a cost driver setting of Nominal may not correspond to an Effort Multiplier of 1.00, so you may have computed the effort incorrectly.
		COCOMO II.1998 was renamed to COCOMO II.1999 and then to COCOMO II.2000, so all of those models are identical.

	Project estimation
		COCOMO is often misused, because it is not carefully fitted to the peculiarities of the local software environment.
		COCOMO is the name given to a family of three cost estimation systems, developed by Barry Boehm in the late seventies and published in his book Software Engineering Economics (Prentice-Hall).
		While the COCOMO method has provided developers and project managers with a much-needed handle on the problem of cost estimation, it has required a great deal of ‘tweaking’ to suit particular development environments and, even with this adjustment, it remains a tool for relating effort and duration to project size.

	Software Cost Estimation: Metrics and Models
		COCOMO is a relatively straightforward model based on inputs relating to the size of the system and a number of cost drivers that affect productivity.
		The original COCOMO is a collection of three models: a Basic model that is applied early in the project, an Intermediate model that is applied after requirements are specified, and an Advanced model that is applied after design is complete (Fenton, 1997).
		The Advanced model applies the Intermediate model at the component level, and then a phase-based approach is used to consolidate the estimate (Fenton, 1997).

		Guidelines have been proposed to i mprove the effectiveness of pilot projects [KPP95], but it remains difficult to assess the unique impact of the proposed improvement technology on cycle time, due to the interaction of other project variables, and to generalize the results to other projec ts.
		One potential answer is to use the Intermediate or the Advanced COCOMO models.
		This poor performance cannot be blamed on the experiment, as even Boehm admits that the Basic COCOMO effort estimates are within a factor of 1.3 of the actuals only 29 percent of the time, and within a factor of 2 only 60 percent of the time for his 63-project database [Boe81].

		These models share a common approach: effort is expressed as a (pre-defined) function of one or more variables (such as size of the product, capability of the developers and level of reuse).
		For example, Boehm’s advanced COCOMO cost estimation model is tied to a quality model.
		As a result, we measure structural attributes of representations of the software which are available in advance of (or without the need for) execution; then, we try to establish empirically predictive theories to support quality assurance, quality control, and quality prediction.
