  • COCOMO 81

    The original COnstructive COst MOdel (COCOMO) model published in 1981 and now referred to as COCOMO 81. It predicts software development effort, schedule, and effort distribution via point estimates.

  • COSYSMO

    The purpose of the COnstructive SYStems Engineering Cost MOdel model is to estimate the Systems Engineering effort for large-scale systems (both software and hardware).

  • COQUALMO

    The COnstructive QUALity MOdel balances the relationships between Cost, Schedule, and Quality. This model predicts software defects introduced and removed during development.

  • CORADMO

    COnstruction Rapid Application Development MOdel focuses on the cost of developing software using rapid application development techniques. RAD is an application of any of a number of techniques or strategies to reduce software development cycle time.

  • COPLIMO

    COnstructive Product Line Investment MOdel consists of a product line development cost model and an annualized post-development life cycle extension. It focuses on modeling the portions of the software that involve product-specific newly-built software, fully reused black-box product line components, and product line comp

  • COPSEMO

    COnstructive Phase Schedule & Effort MOdel focuses on the cost of developing software as distributed over the development activity stage.

  • Agile COCOMO

    A COCOMO tool that is very simple to use and easy to learn. Incorporates the full COCOMO parametric model and uses analogy-based estimation to generate accurate results for a new project. The analogy is based on already completed projects and only changes in COCOMO parameters.
