These types of projects are easily developed and are not time bounded and the example of such projects are business system, payroll management system, inventory management systems, etcetera. It requires the pre-experienced team along with a deep understanding of the software project.

Organic Projects: The organic type of projects are not very bulky and includes the 50 KDLOC (a kilo of delivered lines of codes or less).

The software projects are classified into three types, in order to estimate effort accurately. This model uses the number of lines of code (in thousand) delivered. Boehm, which was the most straightforward model proposed to compute the software cost, development time, average team size, and effort required to develop a software project. Supplies estimates that represent one standard derivation nearly the most likely estimate.ĬOCOMO model was first introduced in the year of 1980s by Barry W. Object points, function points and lines of codeĭevelopment begins with the requirements assigned to the software.

In this article, we are going to discuss COCOMO 1 and COCOMO 2 models.

COCOMO model was proposed to solve regarding issue of estimating the relevant factors and mainly the cost. Previously we didn’t have any method to find the cost, manpower and time going to be required in developing a particular software product. Before the development of a project, it is necessary to find the cost and time needed to develop it efficiently.
