Abstract

A data set collected by the European Space Agency was used to investigate several issues underlying the construction of parametric software development cost models. To ensure a certain degree of consistency in the data, analysis was focused on a set of space and military projects that represent an important application domain and the largest subset in the database. The most plausible model appeared to be a log-linear model involving KLOC, team size, and a principal component influenced by reliability requirements, storage constraints, and execution time constraints.
