Ads.txt Not Found Issue

I recently encountered a problem on the Google AdSense portal. It showed that my master2teach.com site’s Ads.txt status was Not found. I confirmed that I had placed the ads.txt file correctly at my website’s root.

However, when I tried to access this file using a web browser via https://master2teach.com/ads.txt, it displayed the Google Adsense provided code.

Check out the quick video for the solution

Using the Basic COCOMO 81 model ‘see the tables and example below’, calculate the effort required – ‘in person-months’, the overall development time, and the number of personnel required for the project described below.

  1. Effort = a (KLOC)b. person month
  2. Development Time = c (Effort)d months
  3. Number of People = Effort / Development Time   persons
Software Product Typeabcd
Organic2.41.052.50.38

Assume that the size of an organic-type software product has been estimated to be 32,000 lines of source code. Determine the effort required to develop the software Product, its duration, and the number of personnel.

Solution:

We know that

Effort = a (KLOC)b. person month

Development Time = c (Effort)d months

Number of People = Effort / Development Time   persons

Given that, estimated Lines of Code = 32,000 = 32 KLOC

Software Product Type / Modes of Development: Organic

Effort = a (KLOC)b person month

= 2.5 (32) 1.05 person month

= 95.13 person month

= 95 person month

Development Time = c (Effort) d Months

= 2.5 (95) 0.38 Months

= 14.1 Months

= 14 Months

Number of People = Effort / Development Time   persons

= 95 / 14 persons

= 11.65 persons

= 6.78 persons

= 7 persons

A company needs to develop a strategy for software product development for which it has a choice of two programming languages L1 and L2. The number of lines of code (LOC) developed using L2 is estimated to be twice the LOC developed with L1. The product will have to be maintained for five years. Various parameters for the company are given in the table below.

ParameterLanguage L1Language L2
Man years needed for developmentLOC / 10000LOC / 10000
Development Cost per yearRs. 10,00,0007,50,000
Maintenance Time5 Years5 Years
Cost of maintenance per yearRs. 1,00,000Rs. 50,000

The total cost of the project includes the cost of development and maintenance. What is the LOC for L1 for which the cost of the project using L1 is equal to the cost of the project using L2?

COCOMO MODEL

Solution:

Let’s Suppose LOC for the L1 = X

Given that: The number of lines of code (LOC) developed using L2 is estimated to be twice the LOC developed with L1.

Then LOC for the L2 = 2X

We know that:

The total cost of the project includes the cost of development and maintenance. And the LOC for L1 for which the cost of the project using L1 is equal to the cost of the project using L2.

Development cost of L1 + Maintenance cost of L1  =  Development cost for L2 + Maintenance cost of L2

Development cost of L1 = (X / 10,000) * 1,00,0000

Maintenance cost of L1 = 5 * 1,00,000

Development cost of L2 = (2X / 10,000) * 7,00,000

Maintenance cost of L2 = 5 * 50,000

{(X / 10,000) * 10,00,000 + 5 * 1,00,000 }  =  { (2X / 10,000) * 7,50,000 + 5 * 50,000}

5X  =  2,50,000

X = 5,000

The LOC for L1 for which the cost of the project using L1 is equal to the cost of the project using L2 = 5,000.

Using the Basic COCOMO 81 model (see the tables and formulae below), calculate the effort required (in person-months), the overall development time, and the number of personnel required for each product described below.

BASIC MODEL EQUATIONS

  1. Effort = a (KLOC)b. person month
  2. Development Time = c (Effort)d months
  3. Number of People = Effort / Development Time   persons
Software Product Typeabcd

Product 1: A semi-detached mode product delivering 75,000 lines of code.
Product 2: An embedded mode product delivering 75,000 lines of code.
Product 3: An organic mode product delivering 75,000 lines of code.

Briefly comment on your estimations for the above products.

COCOMO MODEL

Solution:

We know that

Effort = a (KLOC)b. person month

Development Time = c (Effort)d months

Number of People = Effort / Development Time   persons

Given that, estimated Lines of Code = 75,000 = 75 KLOC

Product 1: Semi-detached Mode of Development

Effort = a (KLOC)b person month

= 3 (75) 1.12 person month

= 377.73 person month

= 378 person month

Development Time = c (Effort) d Months

= 2.5 (378) 0.35 Months

= 19.9 Months

= 20 Months

Number of People = Effort / Development Time   persons

= 378 / 20 persons

= 18.9 persons

= 19 persons

Product 2: Embedded Mode of Development

Effort = a (KLOC)b person month

= 3.6 (75) 1.2 person month

= 640.288 person month

= 640 person month

Development Time = c (Effort) d Months

= 2.5 (640) 0.32 Months

= 19.7 Months

= 20 Months

Number of People = Effort / Development Time   persons

= 640 / 20 persons

= 32 persons

Product 3: Organic Mode of Development

Effort = a (KLOC)b person month

= 2.5 (75) 1.05 person month

= 232.67 person month

= 233 person month

Development Time = c (Effort) d Months

= 2.5 (233) 0.38 Months

= 19.8 Months

= 20 Months

Number of People = Effort / Development Time   persons

= 233 / 20 persons

= 11.65 persons

= 12 persons

Suppose that a project was estimated to be 400 KLOC. Calculate the effort & time for each of the 3 modes of development.

Software Product Typeabcd
Organic2.41.052.50.38
Semi-detached3.01.122.50.35
Embedded3.61.202.50.32
COCOMO MODEL

Solution:

As we know the 3 modes of development are

  1. Organic
  2. Semi-detached
  3. Embedded

Also, we know that

Effort = a (KLOC)b person month

Time = c (Effort)d Months

Here, we are given KLOC = 400

Organic:

Effort = a (KLOC)b person month

= 2.4 (400)1.05 person month

= 1295 person month

Time = c (Effort) d Months

= 2.5 (1295) 0.38 Months

= 38 Months

Semi-detached:

Effort = a (KLOC)b person month

= 3 (400)1.12 person month

= 2462 person month

Time = c (Effort) d Months

= 2.5 (2462) 0.35 Months

= 38.4 Months

Embedded

Effort = a (KLOC)b person month

= 3.6 (400)1.2 person month

= 4772 person month

Time = c (Effort) d Months

= 2.5 (4772) 0.32 Months

= 38 Months

Different project Modes/Types used in the Basic COCOMO 81

/0 Comments/in /by

Basic COCOMO model: It estimates the software roughly and quickly. It is mostly useful for small medium-sized software. There are three modes of development.

  1. Organic
  2. Semi Detached
  3. Embedded

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

Features of the COCOMO Models

/0 Comments/in /by
COCOMO MODEL
  • An empirical model based on project experience.
  • Well-documented, independent model which is not tied to a specific software vendor.
  • Long history from initial version published in 1981 (COCOMO-81) through various instantiations to COCOMO 2
  • COCOMO 2 takes incorporates a range of sub-models that produce increasingly detailed software estimates such as the early design model, reuse model, etc

COCOMO MODEL

/0 Comments/in /by

As software engineers, we have to face major questions from clients, management, and others. i.e. what is the time and Cost?

Estimating the cost of the project is one of the most challenging jobs for the Software Engineer. One of the best ways to calculate the cost of the project is COCOMO. COCOMO stands for the Constructive Cost Model. It is a Constructive Cost Model which is based on LOC (Lines of Code) the project estimation is done based on the total lines of codes required to develop the system. i.e. Size of the system defines the cost of the project.

Co = Constructive

Co = Cost

Mo= Model

COCOMO = Constructive Cost Model

COCOMO was first developed by Barry W. Boehm in 1981 as a model that is used to estimate the effort, cost, development time, average staff size, productivity, etc.

It is a hierarchy of software cost estimation models. It consists of three hierarchies of increasingly detailed and accurate forms.

  1. Basic COCOMO model
  2. Intermediate COCOMO model
  3. Detailed COCOMO model

Basic COCOMO model: It estimates the software roughly and quickly. It is mostly useful for small-medium-sized software. There are three modes of development.
