The intermediate model estimates software development effort in terms of size of the program and other related cost drivers parameters (product parameter, hardware parameter, resource parameter, and project parameter) of the project. Also, calculate the Average resource size and Productivity of the software for Organic project type.Īns : Given estimated size of project is: 300 KLOC For OrganicĮffort (E) = a*(KLOC) b = 2.4*(300) 1.05 = 957.61 MM Calculate the Effort, Scheduled time for development. a, b, c, d = The constant parameters for a software project.Įxample : For a given project was estimated with a size of 300 KLOC.KLOC = the size of the code for the project in Kilo lines of code.D = Total time required for project development in Months (M).E = Total effort required for the project in Man-Months (MM).
The estimated effort and scheduled time for the project are given by the relation:
It mainly deals with the number of lines of code and the level of estimation accuracy is less as we don’t consider the all parameters belongs to the project. It is the one type of static model to estimates software development effort quickly and roughly.
