Example Software ProjectEstimating Scenario • Real time embedded avionics software for commercial air transport application • Effective software size: • [45,000; 50,000; 60,000] SLOC (triangular) • Nominal defect density: • [1.06; 1.48; 2.07] defects/KSLOC (triangular) • Cost of labor: 40 ph/pw; $100/ph • Constraints: • Duration: Goal ≤ 104 weeks; Confidence ≥ 80% • Effort: Goal ≤ 2,000 pw; Confidence ≥ 50% • Cost: Goal ≤ $7,000,000; Confidence ≥ 80% • Defects: Goal ≤ 100 deliv. defects; Confidence ≥ 90%

Identifying and Analyzing Alternatives • Change Assumptions • Reduce the effective software size (i.e., postpone or eliminate functionality), • Reduce the uncertainty range around effective software size (i.e., refine the size estimate and secure functionality freezes to reduce variability and potential for growth), • Increase efficiency (i.e., better people, better processes/tools, less complex product, etc.), • Reduce the uncertainty range around efficiency (i.e., lock down decisions about the product technology and the development environment). • Change Constraints • Relax one or more of the goal values, • Relax one or more of the desired confidence probabilities.
