Abstract

Estimation of Cost, Effort and Schedule is a very important aspect in commercial software development. Effort is usually the predominant cost driver in software development. The dominant determinant for effort is the size of the software to be developed. There are various ways to determine the size of software. The best option is to use a standardized measure for the functional size. In this chapter the COSMIC method for functional size is introduced. Due to its basic principles, the COSMIC method enables determination of the functional size of mobile and cloud-based applications. This chapter demonstrates how the COSMIC method provides a good basis for the estimation of Cost, Effort and Schedule in mobile and cloud environments.
