Modes of Software Development

Organic– detached, often batch

Semidetached– e.g. transaction processing

Embedded– e.g. os kernel

Programmer Effort

Application Programs– PM = 2.4 * (KDSI)1.05

Utility Programs– PM = 3.0 * (KDSI)1.12

Systems Programs– PM = 3.6 * (KDSI)1.20

Productivity

The productivity is defined as LOC per time unit.

The usual units are LOC/Programmer-Day

Divide final size of project by total programmer-days of effort for the whole software development

540f07cost11oct2 12

What is the effort, productivity, staffing and delivery time for an application project that takes 175K loc?

What is the effort, productivity, staffing and delivery time for a system project that take 400K loc?

Putnam's Cost Estimation Model

macro-estimation model that uses LOC relationship between cost and the amount of

time available for the development effort. The model supports the 'mythical man-

month' idea

540f07cost11oct2 15

Putnam's Model

Uses the Rayleigh Curve– Shows Instantaneous Programmer-power vs

Time– Empirically verified on other projects

540f07cost11oct2 16

Rayleigh Curve

The rayleigh curve is a product of at times e raised to the -bt squared

The at dominates at first giving a steep rise and then the negative power of e lowers the value slowly

Software Equation

There must be a relationship between the lifecycle development effort, the development time and the size of the project.

This relationship is given in the Software Equation

540f07cost11oct2 19

Software Equation

Ss = C*K1/3 td4/3

– where:

– Ss is the estimated size of the software system

– K is the total lifecycle effort in programmer-years

– C is the technology constant

– td is the development time (in years) )/1(][ 433/1 tPBlocE

B is “special skills factor”; P is “productivity parameter”
