Different project Modes/Types used in the Basic COCOMO 81

Basic COCOMO model: It estimates the software in a rough and quick manner. It mostly useful for the small medium sized software. There are three modes of development.

i. Organic

ii. Semi Detached

iii. Embedded

We used these three different modes of development to calculate the project effort, development time, average staff size, productivity according to different criteria which are shown below.

  ORGANIC SEMI DETACHED EMBEDDED
Size 2 50 KLOC 50 300 KLOC 300 & Above KLOC
Team Size Small Size Medium Size Large Size
Developer Experience Experienced Developers Needed Average Experienced People Very Little Previous experience
Environment Familiar Environment Less Familiar Significant environment changes (Almost new environment)
Innovation Little Medium Major
Deadline Not Tight Medium Tight
Example Payroll System Utility Systems, DBMS Air Traffic monitoring, ATM
