A Tool For Cost Estimation Using Cocomo Ii And Object Oriented Metrics

Abstract The Software Cost Estimation Tools are becomes prominent in use. Although there are many more tools present, but there is not a single tool that allow comparison of cost and effort of two Real Time Project on a single window (in parallel), by using Grouping Method, Object Oriented Metrics and COCOMO II. This paper going to demonstrate my Software, on which three modules are designed CodingFirst module to calculate line of code using Object Oriented Metrics (Class Diagram, Sequence Diagram and Coding Files), Second module which is dedicated to execute first module to number of times(i.e. both project in parallel or only first project or only second project) and the execution depend on groups( combination of Class Diagram, Sequence Diagram and Coding Files) that are made for real time projects separately using Grouping Methodology, Third module is the implementation of COCOMO II over the calculated Lines of Code in second module with the help of their four models i.e. Early Design Model(EDM), Post Architecture Model(PAM), Application Composition Model(ACM) and Reuse Model(RM). This way easily able to Estimate and Compare the cost and effort more accurately by taking help/using three technologies which are very prominent; they are Grouping Methodologies, Object Oriented Metrics and COCOMO II. All this work helps a manager or Estimator or User of Software: a) To use the previous work (project) in new Real Time Project i.e. there are many references available for continuing to new Real Time Project, this Tool identify which reference is more suitable to use(effective to Cost and Effort). b) When same goal project is developed by two different logics, then this Tool helps to compare between both Real Time Project in a single Dynamic window on the basic of Object Oriented Metric
