Usage

KitchenhamMadeyskiBudgen16.COCOMO

Format

A data frame with variables:

Project

Project ID

Type

A categorical variable describing the type of the project

Year

The year the project was completed

Lang

A categorical variable describing the development language used

Rely

Ordinal value defining the required software reliability

Data

Ordinal value defining the data complexity / Data base size

Cplx

Ordinal value defining the complexity of the software / Process complexity

Aaf

??

Time

Ordinal value defining the stringency of timing constraints / Time constraint for cpu

Stor

Ordinal value defining the stringency of the data storage requirements / Main memory constraint

Virt

Virtual Machine volatility

Turn

Turnaround time

Type2

A categorical variable defining the hardware type: mini, max=mainframe, midi

Acap

Ordinal value defining the analyst capability

Aexp

Ordinal value defining the analyst experience / application experience

Pcap

Ordinal value defining the programming capability of the team / Programmers capability

Vexp

Ordinal value defining the virtual machine experience of the team

Lexp

Ordinal value defining the programming language experience of the team

Cont

??

Modp

/ Modern programming practices

Tool

Ordinal value defining the extent of tool use / Use of software tools

ToolCat

Recoding of Tool to labelled ordinal scale

Sced

Ordinal value defining the stringency of the schedule requirements / Schedule constraint

Rvol

Ordinal value defining the requirements volatility of the project

Select

Categorical value calculated by BAK for an analysis example

Rvolcat

Recoding of Rvol to a labelled ordinal scale

Modecat

Mode of the projects: O=Organic, E=Embedded, SD-Semi-Detached

Mode1

Dummy variable calculated by BAK: 1 if the project is Organic, 0 otherwise

Mode2

Dummy variable calculated by BAK: 1 if the project is Semi-detached, 0 otherwise

Mode3

Dummy variable calculated by BAK: 1 if the project is Embedded, 0 otherwise

KDSI

Product Size Thousand of Source Instructions

AKDSI

Adjusted Product Size for Project in Thousand Source Instructions - differs from KDSI for enhancement projects

Effort

Project Effort in Man months

Duration

Duration in months

Productivity

Productivity of project calculated by BAK as AKDSI/Effort, so the the larger the value the better the productivity
