- │ ADA_COST │
- │ │
- │ ADA_COST is estimates the costs of software development efforts. │
- │ The model used is based on research by the Deparment of Defense and │
- │ and NASA. The estimator is applicable to most high level languages. │
- │ │
- │ This version of ADA_COST asks a series of fifty questions that │
- │ deal with variables in the cost model, such as lines of code to be │
- │ developed, personnel and computer resources, specific requirements │
- │ (such as real-time and memory constraints) and experience. The answers │
- │ are used by the model to predict time and cost for development. │
- │ │
- │ To run the program, type ADA_COST and press the Enter Key. │
- │ │
- │ STO sells a library of reusable Ada source code for $450 from │
- │ which the cost estimator, metric analyzer, and other tools can be │
- │ built. │
