SOFTWARE ENGINEERING

Detailed explanation-1: -The intermediate COCOMO model recognizes these facts and refines the initial estimates obtained through the basic COCOMO model by using a set of 15 cost drivers based on various attributes of software engineering.

Detailed explanation-2: -Intermediate COCOMOs Typical values for EAF range from 0.9 to 1.4. The Intermediate Cocomo formula now takes the form: E = ai (KLoC) bi (EAF) where E is the effort applied in person-months, KLoC is the estimated number of thousands of delivered lines of code for the project, and EAF is the factor calculated above.

Detailed explanation-3: -Basic COCOMO Model It requires to calculate the efforts which are required to develop in three modes of development that are organic mode, semi-detached mode, and embedded mode.

Detailed explanation-4: -COCOMO or Constructive Cost Estimation Model is a model that estimates the effort and time taken to complete the model based on the size of the source code. It includes 15 multiplying factors from different attributes of the project, and finally calculates time and effort using this information.
