Software cost estimation is the key step to software development management. In order to make COCOMO model applicable to Chinese enterprises, an improved software cost estimation method based on COCOMO model and linear regression was proposed in this paper. Then the replication experiment was taken by using the historical software project data of given enterprises, and then compared experience estimation with the new improved method proposed in this paper about the forecasting accuracy. The results verified that the improved cost estimation method has more practical value to software development.

The Cost

The accuracy of software cost estimation is essential for software development management. By introducing and analyzing the estimation methods of software cost systematically, the paper discussed the necessary of considering the software maintenance stage and estimating the software cost by separating the procedure of software development into several small stages. Then a staged software cost estimation method based on COCOMO model was proposed. The use of the new software cost estimation method proposed by this paper not only contributes to the cost control of software project, but also effectively avoids the bias problem due to using by single cost estimation method so that the accuracy of cost estimation could be improved.
