COCOMO Model Basic
[attachment=16549]
Introduction
COCOMO is one of the most widely used software estimation models in the world
It was developed by Barry Boehm in 1981
COCOMO predicts the effort and schedule for a software product development based on inputs relating to the size of the software and a number of cost drivers that affect productivity
The Development Modes: Project Characteristics
Organic Mode
Relatively small, simple software projects
Small teams with good application experience work to a set of less than rigid requirements
Similar to the previously developed projects
relatively small and requires little innovation
Semidetached Mode
Intermediate (in size and complexity) software projects in which teams with mixed experience levels must meet a mix of rigid and less than rigid requirements.
