Programmer Effort
Application Programs– PM = 2.4 * (KDSI)1.05
Utility Programs– PM = 3.0 * (KDSI)1.12
Systems Programs– PM = 3.6 * (KDSI)1.20

Productivity
The productivity is defined as LOC per time unit.
The usual units are LOC/Programmer-Day
Divide final size of project by total programmer-days of effort for the whole software development
cost13 12

What is the effort, productivity, staffing and delivery time for an application project that takes 175K loc?
What is the effort, productivity, staffing and delivery time for a system project that take 400K loc?

Putnam's Cost Estimation Model
macro-estimation model that uses LOC relationship between cost and the amount of
time available for the development effort. The model supports the 'mythical man-
month' idea
cost13 15
Putnam's Model
Uses the Rayleigh Curve– Shows Instantaneous Programmer-power vs
Time– Empirically verified on other projects
cost13 16
Rayleigh Curve
The rayleigh curve is a product of at times e raised to the -bt squared
The at dominates at first giving a steep rise and then the negative power of e lowers the value slowly

Software Equation
There must be a relationship between the lifecycle development effort, the development time and the size of the project.
This relationship is given in the Software Equation
cost13 19
Software Equation
Ss = C*K1/3 td4/3
– where:
– Ss is the estimated size of the software system
– K is the total lifecycle effort in programmer-years
– C is the technology constant
– td is the development time (in years) )/1(][ 433/1 tPBlocE
B is “special skills factor”; P is “productivity parameter”
