Relation to lab project

   Relation to My lab project

The software engineering economics analysis, cost estimation techniques where very useful for the cost estimation of my lab project.

The Function Point approach of cost estimation was used because of the following reasons:

1. It was decided to do a preliminary estimation of software cost therefore the size-oriented approach (COCOMO) was rejected as the code will not be developed until at a later stage.

2. FP approach is independent of programming languages.

3. An object-oriented approach was used for the software, and FP approach better accommodates software reuse and object-oriented approaches.
