Software effort estimation is a key element of software project
planning and management. Yet, in industrial practice, the important
role of effort estimation is often underestimated and/or
misunderstood. In this book, Adam Trendowicz presents the CoBRA
method (an abbreviation for Cost Estimation, Benchmarking, and Risk
Assessment) for estimating the effort required to successfully
complete a software development project, which uniquely combines
human judgment and measurement data in order to systematically
create a custom-specific effort estimation model. CoBRA goes far
beyond simply predicting the development effort; it supports
project decision-makers in negotiating the project scope, managing
project risks, benchmarking productivity, and directing improvement
activities. To illustrate the method's practical use, the book
reports several real-world cases where CoBRA was applied in various
industrial contexts. These cases represent different estimation
contexts in terms of software project environment, estimation
objectives, and estimation constraints. This book is the result of
a successful collaboration between the process management division
of Fraunhofer IESE and many software companies in the field of
software engineering technology transfer. It mainly addresses
software practitioners who deal with planning and managing software
development projects as part of their daily work, and is also of
interest for students or courses specializing in software
engineering or software project management.
