Introduction

The success of any software project largely depends on effective estimation of project effort, time, and cost. Estimation helps in setting realistic targets for completing a project.

If these estimates are inaccurate, it can impact the project cost drastically and result in the project being delayed. Therefore, before initiating a project, it is essential to know how long it would take to complete the project, what would be the development cost, and how many resources would be required.

Software Estimation course includes:

  • Software Size Estimation Using FPA
  • Software Effort and Schedule Estimation
  • Effort and Schedule Estimation Using COCOMO II

Course Benefits

This course will enable you to:

  • Explain the basic concepts of function point analysis (FPA).
  • Estimate software size by using the Detailed FPA technique.
  • Explain the basic concepts, processes, and models related to effort and schedule estimation for a software project.
  • Understand the basic concepts of COCOMO II model and how to use the three COCOMO II models for effort and schedule estimation.

You receive a certificate of completion after successfully completing this course.
