staffing level estimation in software engineering

Business systems are often more than 10 years old. For example, large military or infrastructure systems, such as air traffic con- trol systems, may have a lifetime of 30 years or more. Useful soft- ware systems often have a very long lifetime. Software engineering is an engineering discipline that is con- cerned with all aspects of software production.

Index Terms - COCOMO, KLOC, Cost estimation, Function Points, Person-month,Effort Estimation. In this paper,we have discussed about various cost estimation models and their limitations. There are many cost estimation models for the estimation of the software. It is one of the most critical tasks and an accurate estimate provides a strong base to the development procedure. It predicts the amount of effort and development time required to build a software system.
