48. The number of function points of a proposed system is calculated as 500. Suppose that the system is planned to be developed in Java and the LOC/FP ratio of Java is 50. Estimate the effort (E) required to complete the project using the effort formula of basic COCOMO given below : E = a(KLOC)b Assume that the values of a and b are 2.5 and 1.0 respectively.

  • Option : C
  • Explanation :
    E = a(KLOC)b a = 2.5 , b = 1.0 LOC / FP = 50 500 FP So, 50 * 500 = 25000 loc i.e 25 KLOC E = 2.5(25)1 = 62.5 person months. So, option (C) is correct.
