Cost Estimation for Secure Software & Systems
Ed Colbert, Dan Wu, Yue Chen · 2005
The Center for Software Engineering (CSSE) at the University of Southern California (USC) is extending the widely–used Constructive Cost Model version 2 (COCOMO II) [4] to account for developing secure software. CSSE is also developing a model for estimating the cost to acquire secure systems (emphasizing space systems), and is evaluating the effect of security goals on other models in the COCOMO family. We will present the work to date.
