Result Paper on a Tool to Evaluate the Performance of UCP

Estimates of cost and schedule in software projects are based on a prediction of the size of the future system. Unfortunately, the estimation of cost and schedule rarely comes within budget and on-time. Traditional cost models may take software size as an input parameter, and then apply a set of adjustment factors or ‘cost drivers’ to compute an estimate of total effort. In Object oriented software production, use case describes functional requirements. The use case model is used to predict the size of the future software system at an early development stage. This dissertation work describes the various estimation methods combined into a single tool. Tools consists estimation models of main input parameter size. These are Source Lines Of Code (SLOC) and Function Point (FP). This Size Input is incorporated into cost estimation models like COCOMO I and COCOMO II from where we estimate other factors like Effort, duration, Cost etc. But the main aim of this tool is to provide better estimates of size for this time trend languages which are based on Object Oriented Paradigm.
