What are the three steps involved in estimating project effort using the basic COCOMO technique?
How does the project type influence the effort estimation in the Basic COCOMO model?
Define the Source Lines of Code (SLOC) estimation technique. Discuss its main disadvantage regarding language dependency with an example comparing assembly and Visual Basic.
Explain the advantages of using the Function Point (FP) estimation technique over the Source Lines of Code (SLOC) technique, particularly regarding language dependency and project model flexibility.
Explain why the Function Point (FP) technique is particularly effective for estimating projects that utilize Prototyping or Spiral lifecycle models.
Why is the Function Point (FP) estimation technique preferred over Source Lines of Code (SLOC) when software requirements are expected to change mid-project?
Define the Delphi technique as an estimation technique, name the three distinct groups of people involved in its sessions, and explain its eight-step process.
In software project management, which factor acts as the primary baseline from which a manager estimates the cost, effort, and duration of the project?
What is the Constructive Cost Model (COCOMO), and what are its three levels of implementation?
