Download or read book Software Product Factors for Development Cost Estimating at the Standard Systems Center written by Robert E. Meisner and published by . This book was released on 1988 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this report is to document work commissioned by the Air Force Standard Center (SSC) in identifying realistic product factors for use in their recently adopted software cost estimating model. The mission of the SSC is to develop and maintain Air Force standard computer systems. Like many Air Force organizations, SSC workloads exceed their available resources. Their dilemma is compounded by software cost estimating techniques that are characterized by the Software Engineering Institute (SEI) as generally immature, contributing to an ineffective resource commitment process. The SSC, working with the SEI, is addressing this and other documented problems. Within this larger context, this research project defines two product factors that could significantly affect software development costs at the SSC. The two factors are product complexity and customer relations.

This book was released on 1988 with total page 982 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 1982 statistics on the use of family planning and infertility services presented in this report are preliminary results from Cycle III of the National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG), conducted by the National Center for Health Statistics. Data were collected through personal interviews with a multistage area probability sample of 7969 women aged 15-44. A detailed series of questions was asked to obtain relatively complete estimates of the extent and type of family planning services received. Statistics on family planning services are limited to women who were able to conceive 3 years before the interview date. Overall, 79% of currently mrried nonsterile women reported using some type of family planning service during the previous 3 years. There were no statistically significant differences between white (79%), black (75%) or Hispanic (77%) wives, or between the 2 income groups. The 1982 survey questions were more comprehensive than those of earlier cycles of the survey. The annual rate of visits for family planning services in 1982 was 1077 visits /1000 women. Teenagers had the highest annual visit rate (1581/1000) of any age group for all sources of family planning services combined. Visit rates declined sharply with age from 1447 at ages 15-24 to 479 at ages 35-44. Similar declines with age also were found in the visit rates for white and black women separately. Nevertheless, the annual visit rate for black women (1334/1000) was significantly higher than that for white women (1033). The highest overall visit rate was for black women 15-19 years of age (1867/1000). Nearly 2/3 of all family planning visits were to private medical sources. Teenagers of all races had higher family planning service visit rates to clinics than to private medical sources, as did black women age 15-24. White women age 20 and older had higher visit rates to private medical services than to clinics. Never married women had higher visit rates to clinics than currently or formerly married women. Data were also collected in 1982 on use of medical services for infertility by women who had difficulty in conceiving or carrying a pregnancy to term. About 1 million ever married women had 1 or more infertility visits in the 12 months before the interview. During the 3 years before interview, about 1.9 million women had infertility visits. For all ever married women, as well as for white and black women separately, infertility services were more likely to be secured from private medical sources than from clinics. The survey design, reliability of the estimates and the terms used are explained in the technical notes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recommends an approach to improving the utility and accuracy of software cost estimates by exposing uncertainty (in understanding the project) and reducing the risks associated with developing the estimates. The approach focuses on characteristics of the estimation process (such as which methods and models are most appropriate for a given situation) and the nature of the data used (such as software size), describing symptoms and warning signs of risk in each factor, and risk-mitigation strategies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to identify, define, and evaluate techniques for estimating computer software development costs. The reasons for the high cost of computer software and poor computer software estimates are discussed. Existing estimating techniques and rules of thumb are presented and their applicability to cost estimating minicomputer software development in the DoD Program Office is considered. The writer concludes that there is no single technique that will give an accurate estimate for all situations. A large number of factors that affect the cost of computer software development have been identified. Therefore, it is mandatory that the estimator have the best possible handle on the most important of these factors. He recommends that the Program Office establish data bases from which estimates can be made by parametric methods.
