Calibrating the COCOMO II Post-Architecture Model
The COCOMO II model was created to meet the need for a cost model that accounted for future software development practices. This resulted in the formulation of three submodels for cost estimation, one for composing applications, one for early lifecycle estimation and one for detailed estimation when the architecture of the product is understood. This paper describes the calibration procedures for the last model, Post-Architecture COCOMO II model, from eighty-three observations. The results of the multiple regression analysis and their implications are discussed. Future work includes further analysis of the PostArchitecture model, calibration of the other models, derivation of maintenance parameters, and refining the effort distribution for the model output. Keywords COCOMO II, cost estimation, metrics, multiple regression.
