Summary Notes of a Government/Industry Software Sizing and Costing Workshop.

Abstract

The Government/Industry Software Sizing and Costing Workshop was held on 1 and 2 October 1974 at the Electronic Systems Division (AFSC), Hanscom Air Force Base, Massachusetts. The overall purpose of the workshop was to improve communications between industry and Government on the problems of forecasting software development costs. More specifically, the workshop focused attention on two key questions: (1) What are the attributes of a good software requirements specification; (2) What are the prime factors affecting/driving software costs. These summary notes present the major points discussed and recommendations made during the splinter group discussions.
