C code for Basic Cocomo Model

The basic COCOMO model is good in quick and rough fashion estimation of software costs. In this model, there are three modes of software development considered: organic, semi-detached and embedded. The basic COCOMO equations take the form

Effort Applied (E) = a_b(KLOC)^b_b [person-months]

Development Time (D) = c_b(Effort Applied)^d_b [months]

Average staff size (SS) = Effort Applied / Development Time [person]

Productivity (P) =KLOC/Effort Applied [KLOC/PM]

where, KLOC is the estimated number of delivered lines (expressed in thousands ) of code for project. The coefficients a_b, b_b, c_b and d_b are given in the following table:

//C program to calculate effort, development time, productivity and average staff required in Basic COCOMO model//

#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
#include<math.h>

int fround(float x)

{

  int a;

  x=x+0.5;

  a=x;

  return(a);

}

void main()

{

  float effort,time,staff,productivity;

  float table[3][4]={2.4,1.05,2.5,0.38,3.0,1.12,2.5,0.35,3.6,1.20,2.5,0.32};

  int size,model;

  char mode[][15]={"Organic","Semi-Detached","Embedded"};

  clrscr();

  printf("\nEnter size of project (in KLOC) : ");

  scanf("%d",&size);

  if(size>=2 && size<=50)

    model=0;     //organic

  else if(size>50 && size<=300)

    model=1;     //semi-detached

  else if(size>300)

    model=2;     //embedded

  printf("\nThe mode is %s\n",mode[model]);

  effort=table[model][0]*pow(size,table[model][1]);

  time=table[model][2]*pow(effort,table[model][3]);

  staff=effort/time;

  productivity=size/effort;

  printf("\nEffort = %f Person-Month",effort);

  printf("\n\nDevelopment Time = %f Months",time);

  printf("\n\nAverage Staff Required = %d Persons",fround(staff));

  printf("\n\nProductivity = %f KLOC/Person-Month",productivity);

getch();
}
