The COCOMO II model was created to meet the need for a cost model that accounted for future software development practices. This resulted in the formulation of three submodels for cost estimation, one for composing applications, one for early lifecycle estimation and one for detailed estimation when the architecture of the product is understood. This paper describes the calibration procedures for the last model, Post-Architecture COCOMO II model, from eighty-three observations. The results of the multiple regression analysis and their implications are discussed. Author(s) : Sunita Devnani-Chulani, Bradford Clark and Barry Boehm

This paper is divided into two parts with the first being the overall model definition. Topics include: COCOMO II models for the software marketplace sectors. Development effort estimates, software economies and diseconomies of scale, adjusting nominal effort, and development schedule estimation. The second part focuses on using COCOMO II with the following topics: determining size, breakage, adjusting for reuse, adjusting for re-engineering or conversion, applications maintenance, and effort multipliers.

This paper provides an overview of the baseline COCOMO 2.0 model tailored to these new forms of software development, including rationales for the model decisions. The major new modeling capabilities of COCOMO 2.0 are a tailorable family of software sizing models, involving Object Points, Function Points, and Source Lines of Code; nonlinear models for software reuse and reengineering; an exponent-driver approach for modeling relative software diseconomies of scale; and several additions, deletions, and updates to previous COCOMO effort-multiplier cost drivers. This model is serving as a framework for an extensive current data collection and analysis effort to further refine and calibrate the model's estimation capabilities.

As part of the COCOMO research team at the Center for Software Engineering at the University of Southern California (USC) efforts to help Constructive Cost Model (COCOMO), they have developed the Rosetta Stone to convert COCOMO 81 files to run using the new COCOMO II software cost estimating model. The Rosetta Stone is extremely important because it allows users to update estimates made with the earlier version of the model so that they can take full advantage of the many new features incorporated into the COCOMO II package. This article describes both the Rosetta Stone and guidelines to make the job of conversion easy. Author(s) : Donald J. Reifer, Barry W. Boehm and Sunita Chulani

Evidence emerging from diverse studies suggests that feedback mechanisms influence software process behavior, its dynamics and performance, including software project cost performance and project duration, but none of the current algorithmic cost estimation approaches appears, at least explicitly, to account for such influence. Why, in spite of this, do algorithmic approaches provide satisfactory estimates? Why do they work? This paper discusses some possible answers that at the present must only be taken as hypotheses, and provides suggestions for further investigation of the topic. Author(s) : Juan F. Ramil
