EdistaLearning is happy to bring you the Software Estimation course series. You can access this course series anytime, anywhere, through the Internet.

Introduction

The success of any software project largely depends on effective estimation of project effort, time, and cost. Estimation helps in setting realistic targets for completing a project.

If these estimates are inaccurate, it can impact the project cost drastically and result in the project being delayed. Therefore, before initiating a project, it is essential to know how long it would take to complete the project, what would be the development cost, and how many resources would be required.

Course Benefits

After taking the course series, you will be able to:

  • Explain the basic concepts of function point analysis (FPA).
  • Estimate software size by using the Detailed FPA technique.
  • Explain the basic concepts, processes, and models related to effort and schedule estimation for a software project.
  • Understand the basic concepts of COCOMO II model and how to use the three COCOMO II models for effort and schedule estimation.

You receive a certificate of completion after successfully completing the course.

  • ET200 : An Introduction to COCOMO II
    • An Introduction to COCOMO II

      Constructive Cost Model (COCOMO) II is one of the most commonly used estimation model that allows one to arrive at reasonably accurate estimates. COCOMO II comprises three models that estimators can use during different stages of the project. This course will enable learners to understand the basic concepts of COCOMO II model.       		  Contents:
        Basics of COCOMO II
        Cost Drivers
