#COCOMO MODEL II DOES IT WORK? SOFTWARE#
Values of software development factors based on experience and approximation, with zero reasoning Capability. These models require inputs which are difficult to obtain at early stages of software development. One of the most frequently used model to estimate software effort is COCOMO developed by Berry Boehm. The models developed were based on mathematical formula and software development factors. In past few decades several researchers have worked in the field of software effort estimation, and many conventional models were designed to estimate software, size and effort. Since the effort and cost estimation is done at an early stage of software development hence a good model is required to calculate these parameters accurately. For efficient software, accurate software development parameters are required, these include effort estimation, development time estimation, cost estimation, team size estimation, risk analysis, etc. With an effective estimate of software cost and effort, software developers can efficiently decide what recourses are to be used frequently and how efficiently these resources can be utilized. It is the accuracy of cost and effort calculation that enable quality growth of software at a later stage. Software cost and effort estimate is one of the most important activities in software project management. Keywords: COCOMO II, Neural Networks, Perceptron learning rule. This work proposes an estimation model that incorporates COCOMO II with perceptron learning rule to provide more accurate software estimates at early phase of software development, so that the estimated effort is more close to the actual effort. In this paper, the author explores the use of perceptron learning rule to implement COCOMO II for effort estimation.

In software industry the most widely used model for effort estimation is Constructive Cost Model (COCOMO). Since it is very difficult to bridge the gap between estimated cost and actual cost, hence the accurate cost estimation is one of the challenging tasks in maintaining software projects. Software cost and effort estimation is the most critical task in handling software projects. Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University, New Delhi Rama Kishore2 1M.Tech (IT) Scholar, 2Asstt.
