Abstract

Software cost estimation plays an essential role in the software project management. The COCOMO, among the many models presently available for software cost estimation, has attracted wide attention. However, relevant research on the assessment of its software size is scarce. If we take the function point analysis as the point of entry, work out the number of its function points and thereby decide upon the software size, we will be able to greatly enhance the accuracy of the COCOMO model and applicability of the COCOMO tools.
