CALIBRATION METHOD OF THE COCOMO MODEL BY REDUCTION OF THE BASIC EQUATION
Keywords:
Software, COCOMO, calibration, software valuation.Abstract
This article reviews calibration methods used for tuning software cost estimation models, peculiarities of calibration; a new method is proposed for higher accuracy calibration of the COCOMO model based on changing the quantity of effort multipliers; and the conclusions are drawn on the expediency of application of the proposed method.References
