Estimating and Pricing Systems - PowerPoint PPT PresentationTRANSCRIPT
Estimating and Pricing Systems The most widely available concise coverage of software project estimation can be found in Pressman's Software Engineering text (2005, Chapter 23). The core of the technique involves the estimation of an application's software development cost using the type chart shown in Figure 2. Additional steps in the process consider the complexity of the system development and user environments. The process is straightforward and suitable for inclusion in an MIS textbook.
