    This document discusses techniques for project planning and cost estimation, including Function Point Analysis and COCOMO models. It provides examples of how to use these techniques to estimate the size and effort required for software projects based on requirements specifications. Specifically, it asks the reader to: 1) Calculate unadjusted and adjusted function points for a spelling checker specification. 2) Determine unadjusted function points for an online club membership system specification using function point analysis. 3) Calculate effort and schedule using the Basic COCOMO model for a project with a given size and constants.

    CSC712 - Questions on Chapter 10 – Project Management

    A number of metrics can be used in the project planning process or in assessing if a


    product has met its requirements.

    1.
    (a) One such technique is Function Point Analysis. This can be used to estimate the size
    of a proposed software system. Describe the rationale for this technique and indicate
    some of the benefits it offers over other approaches to size and cost estimation.

    (b) The specification for a spelling checker program is as follows:

    The checker accepts two external inputs: a document file name and a personal
    dictionary file name; these refer to the two external files used by the system. The
    major output of the checker is a list of misspelt words, i.e. all words not contained
    in either the dictionary or personal dictionary files. Two other outputs are a
    ‘number of words processed’ message and ‘number of words used from personal
    dictionary’ message. At any point in the checking process, the user can query the
    number of words processed and the number of spelling errors. The standard
    dictionary file used by the checker is considered an internal logical file.

    The complexity of each data type is rated average, except ‘standard dictionary file’
    and ‘list of misspelt words’ which are considered complex.

    (i) On this basis, calculate the unadjusted function point value for the spelling
    checker. (Use the weightings given in the table below).

    ITEM WEIGHTING FACTOR


    simple average complex
    External input 3 4 6
    External output 4 5 7
    User inquiry 3 4 6
    External file 7 10 15
    Internal file 5 7 10

    (ii) Calculate an adjusted function point value for the spelling checker where the total
    Degree of Influence is 28.

    2.
    a) Explain the importance of cost estimation in software development.
    (3 marks)
    b) Function point analysis is a useful tool in software cost estimation.
    i) You are given a requirements specification for an on-line club
    membership system. On examination of the requirements
    specification, using function point analysis, you assess the software
    specification components as follows:

    Inputs: 4 simple, 4 average and 2 complex.


    Outputs: 7 average
    Enquiries: 10 average, 3 complex
    Master files: 4 average
    Interfaces: 4 simple, 4 complex

    With the aid of the table below, determine the number of


    unadjusted function points.

    COMPONENT COMPLEXITY LEVEL


    simple average complex
    Input 3 4 6
    Output 4 5 7
    Inquiry 3 4 6
    Internal File 7 10 15
    Interface 5 7 10

    (4 marks)
    ii) If the total degree of influence is 45 determine the number of
    function points.
    (4 marks)
    c) COCOMO is another useful tool in cost estimation.
    i) Describe the three classes of project in COCOMO.
    (3 marks)
    ii) Using the COCOMO method: If the number of delivered source
    code instructions is 162,000 and the value of the constants a, b and
    c in the Basic COCOMO model for this project are determined to
    be 3.0 and 1.10, 0.32 respectively, what is the total effort in person
    months and total development time?
    (4 marks)
    iii) The values for a, b and c in the Basic COCOMO model can change
    from project to project as can the parameters in the intermediate
    version of COCOMO. Why should this be so?
    (2 marks)

    3.
    a) Produce a Network analysis chart including all ES, EF, LS, LF and F for the following
    system. What is the critical path?

    Task Duration Predecessors


    A 10 NONE
    B 12 A
    C 5 A
    D 13 A
    E 10 B,C
    F 11 E
    G 10 F
    H 10 G

    b) Produce a Gantt chart for this.
