An extension of COCOMO II for the B-Method
Yu‐Jun Zheng, Kan Wang, Jinyun Xue · 2006
Constructive Cost Model (COCOMO) series of models are widely used for estimation of informal software development effort. To meet the need for estimating size and cost of projects developed with the B-Method, we extend the sub-models of COCOMO II by introducing specification-based size metrics, adjusting relevant coefficients, and narrowing the value ranges of certain cost drivers. Our work is intended to serve as a start point for a general cost model for formal software development processes.
