“…Function Point Analysis was designed by Albrecht [17] to count the functionality of software projects. This method measures the size of the software, it considers internal logical files [18], external interface file, external input-output, and external inquiries from functional viewpoint metric. ESTIMACS and SPQR/20 are the models based on Function point analysis estimation.…”

As software cost estimation in software projects is a very difficult, confusing and challenging work for any software company and software cost estimation is the primary step to start any software project. It gives the overview of resources, efforts and time/schedule required for a software project in respect of cost to the software company. Software project success generally depends on software cost estimation as it provides us an initial idea of the track, challenges and risk involved in the software project development. The software cost estimation in software engineering is very challenging to match the actual cost of the software project with estimated cost. Effective software cost estimation can help software company make more consistent decisions in planning the software project risk. If the predicted estimates are wrong it may lead to negative results for a software company. Many software companies find, search and analyze software project performance by estimating software cost estimation accuracy. Unfortunately, regardless of the large body of experienced and skilled with estimation models, the accuracy of these models is not adequate. In this research paper observation on the performance of the software cost estimation methods and description of methodologies and technique used in to software project cost estimation included. This research paper give comparative comparison study of software cost estimation methods and reviews several classes of software cost estimation models and techniques. Also study the pros and cons of different software cost estimation modeling techniques.

“…Classical estimation models like COCOMO II [3] are also widely used to estimate the effort required in migration project based on code complexities. FPA (Function Point Analysis) [3] strategy inspired popular frameworks ESTI-MACS and SPQR/20 [18,19] by considering different factors in the function point measurement like complexity of algorithms, code, and data structures. Another classical estimation technique -Putnam model [3] estimates the time and effort needed to finish the project based on lines of code (LOC).…”

Many organizations rely on legacy applications for critical business pro- cesses, even though it incurs a huge cost due to obsolete hardware, software, compiler and the like. Replacing the business critical legacy requires extensive expertise to understand business requirements, esti- mate and test coupled with high cost. To ensure a strict cost budget of legacy migration projects, migration specialists need assistance to understand the facts of the legacy application component in a short span of time to estimate and deliver the target components. Avail- able program assistance tools do not address the needs to migrate the legacy applications. We have designed an effective framework to extract the run-time behaviour of the legacy application like function point, complexity, memory accesses and the like so as to estimate the scope and requirements of an application. The framework contains support to comprehend existing legacy applications, develop and test the target application with business-rules, non-functional requirements (NFR), test data, etc. Then we have proposed a tool assisted Agile way-of-working principles by augmenting our tool-set to migrate the legacy application quickly and effciently. The target components can also be validated co- existentially by exchanging live data with the existing legacy. Designed toolset is built on an open-source dynamic instrumentation framework and can be plugged to a wide variety of run-time environments.

The industry of software should be efficient. Due to rapid change in technology, implementation of complex software systems at cheaper cost and the urge to maintain better quality software are some of the major challenges for the software companies. One of the toughest works is cost estimation, in the field of software engineering. It is the estimation of total cost required in developing software. Researchers have proposed various methods of cost estimation. This paper gives an insight into the various models and techniques used in estimating cost of the software. The benefits and drawbacks of the existing cost estimating techniques have been highlighted in this paper. There is as such not any single method which can be regarded as the best method so in this paper it is suggested that a combination of the methods should be used to get an accurate cost estimate.
