Cost estimation in software engineering
Methods
Methods for estimation in software engineering include this principles:
- COCOMO, the first version known as COCOMO 87 and the second as COCOMO™ II
- COSYSMO
- Evidence-based Scheduling Refinement of typical agile estimating techniques using minimal measurement and total time accounting.
- Function Point Analysis
- Parametric Estimating
- The Planning Game (from Extreme Programming)
- ITK method, also known as Method CETIN
- Proxy-based estimating (PROBE) (from the Personal Software Process)
- Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT)
- Putnam_model, also known as SLIM
- PRICE Systems Founders of Commercial Parametric models that estimates the scope, cost, effort and schedule for software projects.
- SEER-SEM Parametric Estimation of Effort, Schedule, Cost, Risk. Minimum time and staffing concepts based on Brooks's law
- The Use Case Points method (UCP)
- Weighted Micro Function Points (WMFP)
- Wideband Delphi
