What are the advantages and disadvantages of using the Cocomo model for cost estimation in software projects?
The advantages of using the Cocomo model include providing a systematic way to estimate cost and effort and identifying factors that impact a project. The disadvantages of using the Cocomo model include assumptions about size being the main factor and not accounting for specific team characteristics.
Study Notes
- Cocomo is a regression model used for cost estimation in software projects.
- It is based on the number of lines of code and was proposed by Barry Boehm in 1981.
- It predicts parameters such as size, effort, cost, time, and quality.
- The key parameters are effort and schedule, measured in person-months and time units.
- Different Cocomo models can be applied to various projects based on their characteristics.
- There are three types of systems: organic, semi-detached, and embedded.
- The advantages of Cocomo include providing a systematic way to estimate cost and effort and identifying factors that impact a project.
