Problem: You are estimating the effort required to develop a software project using the

COCOMO model. The project has a total of 10,000 lines of code (LOC). Given the following
parameters:

 Organic project type


 A = 2.4 (scaling factor for effort estimation)
 B = 1.05 (scaling factor for schedule estimation)
 C = 2.5 (scaling factor for cost estimation)
 D = 0.38 (exponent for LOC estimation)
 EAF (Effort Adjustment Factor) = 1.2

Calculate the estimated effort, schedule, and cost for the project.

Solution: Step 1: Calculate the effort (E): E = A * (LOC^D) * EAF = 2.4 * (10,000^0.38) *
1.2 = 2.4 * 47.431 * 1.2 ≈ 136.458 person-months

Step 2: Calculate the schedule (S): S = B * (E^D) = 1.05 * (136.458^0.38) = 1.05 * 4.558 ≈
4.786 months

Step 3: Calculate the cost (C): C = E * C = 136.458 * 2.5 ≈ $341.145 (assuming the cost is in
dollars)

Therefore, the estimated effort for the project is approximately 136.458 person-months, the
estimated schedule is around 4.786 months, and the estimated cost is approximately
$341,145.

Problem: You are estimating the effort, schedule, and cost for a software project using the
COCOMO model. The project has a total of 50,000 lines of code (LOC). The project type is
"Semi-detached." Given the following parameters:

 A = 3.0 (scaling factor for effort estimation)


 B = 1.12 (scaling factor for schedule estimation)
 C = 2.8 (scaling factor for cost estimation)
 D = 0.35 (exponent for LOC estimation)
 EAF (Effort Adjustment Factor) = 1.1

Calculate the estimated effort, schedule, and cost for the project.

Solution: Step 1: Calculate the effort (E): E = A * (LOC^D) * EAF = 3.0 * (50,000^0.35) *
1.1 = 3.0 * 54.733 * 1.1 ≈ 179.145 person-months

Step 2: Calculate the schedule (S): S = B * (E^D) = 1.12 * (179.145^0.35) = 1.12 * 6.125 ≈
6.87 months

Step 3: Calculate the cost (C): C = E * C = 179.145 * 2.8 ≈ $501.426 (assuming the cost is in
dollars)
Therefore, the estimated effort for the project is approximately 179.145 person-months, the
estimated schedule is around 6.87 months, and the estimated cost is approximately $501,426.

Remember, these estimates are based on the COCOMO model, and their accuracy depends
on the specific characteristics of the project and the availability of accurate data.

Problem: You have been given the following information for a software project:

 Number of external inputs (EI): 8


 Number of external outputs (EO): 6
 Number of external inquiries (EQ): 4
 Number of internal logical files (ILF): 5
 Number of external interface files (EIF): 3

Using the standard weighting factors for each type of function, calculate the total unadjusted
function points (UFP) for the project.

Solution: Step 1: Calculate the total UFP for each function type:

 External Inputs (EI): 8 * 4 = 32


 External Outputs (EO): 6 * 5 = 30
 External Inquiries (EQ): 4 * 4 = 16
 Internal Logical Files (ILF): 5 * 10 = 50
 External Interface Files (EIF): 3 * 7 = 21

Step 2: Calculate the total UFP by summing up the UFP for each function type: Total UFP =
EI + EO + EQ + ILF + EIF = 32 + 30 + 16 + 50 + 21 = 149

Therefore, the total unadjusted function points (UFP) for the project is 149.

Problem: You have been given the following information for a software project:

 Number of external inputs (EI): 4


 Number of external outputs (EO): 3
 Number of external inquiries (EQ): 2
 Number of internal logical files (ILF): 6
 Number of external interface files (EIF): 2

Using the standard weighting factors for each type of function, calculate the total unadjusted
function points (UFP) for the project.

Solution: Step 1: Calculate the total UFP for each function type:
 External Inputs (EI): 4 * 4 = 16
 External Outputs (EO): 3 * 5 = 15
 External Inquiries (EQ): 2 * 4 = 8
 Internal Logical Files (ILF): 6 * 10 = 60
 External Interface Files (EIF): 2 * 7 = 14

Step 2: Calculate the total UFP by summing up the UFP for each function type: Total UFP =
EI + EO + EQ + ILF + EIF = 16 + 15 + 8 + 60 + 14 = 113

Therefore, the total unadjusted function points (UFP) for the project is 113.

Remember, this is a simplified example, and in a real-world scenario, additional factors and
adjustments may be considered to calculate the adjusted function points (AFP) and refine the
estimation further.

Problem: You are estimating the cost for a software project using the Function Point Analysis
(FPA) method. Given the following information:

 Total unadjusted function points (UFP): 150


 Average cost per function point: $1000

Calculate the estimated cost for the project.

Solution: Step 1: Calculate the estimated cost: Estimated Cost = UFP * Average cost per
function point = 150 * $1000 = $150,000

Therefore, the estimated cost for the project is $150,000.

Note: This is a simplified example and assumes a uniform average cost per function point. In
practice, additional factors such as complexity, team rates, overheads, and project-specific
considerations need to be taken into account for more accurate cost estimations.

Problem: You are estimating the cost for a software project using the COCOMO
(Constructive Cost Model) approach. Given the following information:

 Project type: Organic


 Total lines of code (LOC): 50,000
 Cost drivers:
o Required software reliability (RELY): High
o Data complexity (DATA): High
o Product complexity (CPLX): Very high
o Required reusability (RUSE): Nominal
o Documentation match to life cycle needs (DOCU): High
o Execution time constraint (TIME): Very high
 Cost driver values:
o RELY: 1.10
o DATA: 1.20
o CPLX: 1.30
o RUSE: 1.07
o DOCU: 1.15
o TIME: 1.40
 Effort multipliers:
o Productivity (PMAT): 1.25
o Personnel capability (PCAP): 0.85
o Team cohesion (TEAM): 0.90
 Average personnel cost per month: $8,000

Calculate the estimated cost for the project.

Solution: Step 1: Calculate the effort (E) using the COCOMO model: E = A * (LOC^D) *
EAF

For an organic project: A = 2.4, B = 1.05, C = 2.5, D = 0.38

EAF = RELY * DATA * CPLX * RUSE * DOCU * TIME = 1.10 * 1.20 * 1.30 * 1.07 * 1.15
* 1.40 ≈ 2.7975
