Staffing Level Estimation In Software Engineering
I have this quick question regarding cost estimation using Function Points.
We are doing a small (course project) project for a small company and it's for free, of course. Our instructor wants us to provide a cost estimate of the project using Function Points.
Computing the Function Points is somewhat straight forward (sort of).
Our problem now is on deriving other values (metrics) e.g. length of project duration, rate for the cost of the project per function points.
Abstract Especially in the eld of software engineering, effort estimation plays an essential role. 2 Test Effort Estimation Methods. Especially in the eld of software engineering, the process of testing plays a crucial part to ensure a high level of quality [AB07]. Planning a Project,' covers cost estimation, project scheduling, staffing and personnel planning, team structure, software configuration management, quality assurance plans, project monitoring plans, and risk management planning. In an intensity level greater or equal to the demanded. In software Engineering, personnel planning should be in.
Obviously, we don't have historical data to based our estimate on. Is there some sort of 'typical' cost per function point that we could follow out there? Please help.

Here are some formulas that Capers Jones devised from relatively high number of counted projects:

- Schedule in calendar months: FP^0.4
- Defect potential: FP^1.25
- Software development staffing levels: FP/150
You might go for industry standards for your technology to obtain FP/Person Months or Hours/FP if you don't have historical data (which is your case).
Software Engineering by Hans van Vleet quotes that one function point is 100 lines of COBOL (!), if that's any good to you. There's data out there for converting lines of code to staff-months, project duration, etc.
Do you have access to a library? Start with a general book on software engineering, or one of Steve McConnell's various books. They will contain data, and references to more data.
- I mustn't forget Software Estimation. Personally I haven't yet read it that, but his other books are excellent.
What Is Project Estimation In Software Engineering
Be aware that tracking progress and controlling the project scope are probably at least as important to success as the original estimate.
A simple GOOGLE will give you MANY results to start from

Re: Introduction of Software Engineering-Staffing Level Estimation
Software engineering is an application of a systemic, disciplinable, quantifiable approach to the design, development operation and maintenance of software and the studies of these approaches. The IEEE Computer Society and the ACM, the two main professional organizations of software engineering. If you want to get more information about software Engineering, you have to download these documents.

Re: Introduction of Software Engineering-Staffing Level Estimation
The National Programme on Technology Enhanced Learning (NPTEL) is a project funded by the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD). It provides e-learning through online Web and Video courses in Engineering, Sciences, Technology, Management and Humanities. Staffing level estimation It is necessary to determine the staffing requirement for the project. Putnam first studied the problem of what should be a proper staffing pattern for software projects. He extended the work of Norden In order to appreciate the staffing pattern of software projects, Norden’s and Putnam’s results must be understood. Norden’s Work Norden studied the staffing patterns of several R & D projects. He found that the staffing pattern can be approximated by the Rayleigh distribution curve Norden represented the Rayleigh curve by the following equation: E = K/t²d * t * e-t² / 2 t²d Staffing level estimation
