Estimating Software Size
Presented by:
George Bozoki
Target Software
Abstract
Accurately projecting the size of a proposed software system remains the weakest link in the software cost estimating chain. Deriving an appropriate size estimate is neither straightforward nor trivial. Due to the lack of definitive information during the concept and design phases of software system development, size estimates made in those phases are characterized by uncertainty, generally resulting in estimates of very low credibility or validity. Even as systems mature in their final stages, with requirements stabilized, all data inputs, outputs, and interfaces identified, and all processing functions clearly defined, the process of sizing software is still subject to a wide margin of uncertainty.
This presentation addresses the software sizing problem and discuesses the Software Sizing Model developed by George Bozoki and in use worldwide. Also discussed will be how this model can help organizations address CMMI® model requirements regarding estimation and historical data.
