Cocomo Metric Calculator

Project description

Cocomoco

  • E is the Effort in staff months
  • a and b are coefficients to be determined
  • KLOC is thousands of lines of code (NOTE: cocomoco uses LOC, do not enter kloc values)

With cocomoco, to calculate the effort for 100000 lines of code using the organic model: print(cocomoco.calculate(100000).effort) -> 302.1 (person-months).

Project Development Time, Staff Size & Productivity

Development Time

  • DTime is time for development
  • c and d are constants to be determined
  • E is the effort

With cocomoco, to calculate the development time for 100000 lines of code using the organic model: print(cocomoco.calculate(100000).dtime) -> 21.9 (months).

Staff Size

Average staff size can be calculated in the following way:

Remember: Effort == Staff Months & Dtime == Months -> divide both cancel the months and staff remains!

With cocomoco, to calculate the average staff size for 100000 lines of code using the organic model: print(cocomoco.calculate(100000).staff) -> 14 number of average staff size.

Productivity

How many lines of code per staff month can be calculated via:

With cocomoco, to calculate the staff productivity for 100000 lines of code using the organic model: print(cocomoco.calculate(100000).sloc_per_staff_month) -> 331 lines of code per staff member and month.

Models

Standard Models

Models define the coefficients a and b for typical projects.

  • Organic
    • 2-50 KLOC
    • stable dev
    • little innovation
  • Semidetached
    • 50-300 KLOC
    • average abilities
    • medium time-constraints
  • Embedded
    • larger 300 KLOC
    • large project team
    • complex
    • innovative
    • severe constraints

Standard Constants
