Study Notes
Reasons for New Software Version
- One of the reasons for needing a new version of software is the requirement for changes or updates.
Challenges in User Experience
- The challenge of "compatibility issues" is NOT mentioned for user experience in the current software.
Cost Estimation Models
- In cost estimation models, the relation often assumed between cost and effort is that they are directly proportional.
KLOC
- KLOC stands for "Thousands of Lines of Code" in cost estimation.
Program Execution
- The working process of the computer when executing a program involves processing instructions.
Development Time Estimation
- 1000 man-days are required to complete the development of an application with 10,000 instructions if each person can develop 10 instructions per day.
Historical Cost Comparison
- In 1982, the software cost was 70% of the total cost for an application developed on a VAX750 computer.
Software Development Cost Estimation
- In 2002, the monthly cost estimate for developing software would be $5000, assuming a programmer's salary is $8000 per month and the efficiency of software development has increased to 40 instructions per person per day, with a microcomputer cost of $2000.
Sources of New Software Versions
- One source of new versions of software is changes or updates, which require modifications to the existing software.
