Question Related to COCOMO model – 4
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.
- Effort = a (KLOC)b. person month
- Development Time = c (Effort)d months
- Number of People = Effort / Development Time persons
| Software Product Type | a | b | c | d |
| Organic | 2.4 | 1.05 | 2.5 | 0.38 |
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, 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
