Software cost estimation is the process of predicting software development efforts. The basic input of software cost estimation is the measurement metric. Projects often experience delays, over-budget, and are not completed due to failure to estimate software development costs. PT BPRS (Bank Perkreditan Rakyat Syariah) Lanatabur Tebuireng determines the estimated cost based on the amount of human resources, features needed, and funds owned. This study explains the estimated costs of the FAS (Financing Analysis System) software at PT BPRS Lantabur Tebuireng using the Function Point method. Function Point is a method of measuring software functionality based on the type of user function that is External Input, External Output, External Inquire, Internal Logic File, and External Interface File as well as technical calculations of software development. The final of the FAS (Financing Analysis System) study cost around IDR 94,797,120.

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.

Estimating software cost in an agile system in terms of effort is very challenging. This is because the traditional models of software cost estimation do not completely fit in the agile development process. This paper presents a methodology to enhance the cost of project estimation in agile development. The hybridization adopts Class Responsibility Collaborators models with function point thereby boosting the agile software development estimation process. The study found out that adopting the Hybridized Class Responsibility Collaborator with function point has great improvement on cost estimation in agile software development.

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.
