Calibration Approach and Results of the COCOMO II Post- Architecture Model

The COCOMO II model was created to meet the need for a cost model that accounted for future software development practices. This paper describes some of the experiences learned in calibrating the COCOMO II Post-Architecture model from the 1997 dataset of 83 observations. The results of the multiple regression analysis, their implications, and the future calibration strategy of Bayesian analysis are discussed.
