These data were analyzed to discover the formulas that were the best fit to the observations. These formulas linked the size of the

system and product, project, and team factors to the effort to develop the system. COCOMO II is a freely available model that is supported with open-source tools.

COCOMO II was developed from earlier COCOMO (Constructive Cost Modeling) cost estimation models, which were largely based on original code development (B. W. Boehm 1981; B. Boehm and Royce 1989). The COCOMO II model takes into account ...
