A great classic. Needs to be updated for modern practices.
By Ted Carroll (revonrat@nwlink.com)
This is a great book and should be required reading for anyone who schedules software projects. Some of the
data is out of date and readers should look to the website for updates. If this book contained current
information it would easily be a 10.

A classic "must read" - but be aware of its limitations
By Ramon
"Software Engineering Economics" is *the* book to be considered for anybody wishing to seriously enter
the world of software cost estimation - only if it were because of the extremely great influence this book has
had on this very peculiar aspect of software engineering. In this aspect, Barry Boehm is undoubtly the
master.
HOWEVER, it must be kept in mind that the book itself is somewhat outdated - COCOMO 81, as defined by
Barry Boehm, has been overtaken by new technologies and in particular by the surge in PCs & the Internet.
The basic model is still valid - I still use it myself - provided you are aware what the background in
computing was when it was written, and you carefully assign the adjustment factors.
Barry Boehm himself recognizes that COCOMO 81 is no longer valid - hence his collaboration with
COCOMO II, which has addressed many of the problems that affected the old COCOMO 81 (e.g., it was
mainly thought for development of software on expensive mainframes, and development tools have greatly
evolved since that time). Still, I insist, if you are careful when making your estimations, the model and the
techniques presented in this book are very useful and could be applied even on more modern projects.
My second HOWEVER is related to use the model presented in this book for Software Maintenance
purposes. Though the book has a chapter on this issue, by opinion is a radical NO-No on this particular issue.
COCOMO 81 (as presented in this book) and COCOMO II are adequate for software development purposes.
I totally disagree that they are adequate for software Maintenance purposes (though COCOMO II is at least
not so very bad). Apart from the fact that it ignores things such as regression testing, or the number of
releases to be made during such maintenance, it also ignores the fact that software "degrades" during such
maintenance - subsequent modifications introduce more and more stress on the original design, until at a
certain moment the software requires a great "overhaul" in order to solve a lot of patchwork that has
accumulated over the years. Hence the typical case of having to redesign a complete new software system
because maintenance of the old system becomes too expensive.
In any case, if aware of such limitations, I can highly recommend it.

Economic analysis of software decisions making
By Daniel Mall
A classic reference on estimating the cost of software projects, economic analysis techniques, and applying
economic principals to upper-level management of software projects. The intimidating appearance of the text
on initial inspection is overcome by the author's excellent organization of the content into small chapters and
his lucid writing style. The definition of a software cost model called the constructive cost model
(COCOMO) is a major centerpiece. Another centerpiece is the chapters on cost-effectiveness analysis,
multiple goal decision analysis, dealing with uncertainties and the value of information, software project
planning and control, and improving software productivity. Alternatives to cost models such as experts,
analogy, Parkinson, price-to-win, top-down, and bottom-up are discussed in Chapter 22. Uses several case
studies for example a transaction processing system. Contains an excellent set of questions and exercises at
the end of each chapter.
The COCOMO model is calibrated by industry data and expert opinion. Given module size estimates in lines
of code as input the COCOMO model will predict effort and schedule in man-months. The COCOMO
predictions cover the plans, product design, programming, and integration & test portions of the life cycle.
The validity of the model is illustrated by charting actual vs. COCOMO prediction and the detailed analysis
of the COCOMO cost driver attributes in Chapters 24-26. Product attributes are required software reliability
(RELY), data base size (DATA), and product complexity (CPLX). Computer attributes are execution time
constraint (TIME), main storage constraint (STOR), virtual machine volatility (VIRT), and computer
turnaround time (TURN). Personnel attributes are analyst capability (ACAP), applications experience
(AEXP), programmer capability (PCAP), virtual machine experience (VEXP), and programming language
experience (LEXP). Project attributes are modern programming practices (MODP), use of software tools
(TOOL), and required development schedule (SCED).
Readers should be aware that some aspects of the COCOMO have been replaced by the publication of the
"Software Cost Estimation with COCOMO II" book. The "COCOMO II" book contains a preface section
titled "Relation to 1981 Software Engineering Book". I recommend keeping a copy of this preface handy
while you read "Software Engineering Economics" because it provides a chapter-by-chapter assessment of
the relevance of the "Software Engineering Economics" content in the year 2000.
