The Estimator

The Estimator is CAI/SISCo's J2EE implementation of the IFPUG Function Point software development estimation methodology. Users can generate credible and internationally acceptable estimates of complex software development projects by describing the attributes of: the software development environment; the customer's and the developer's personalities; the application/s and other key aspects of the work to be accomplished such as code reuse. As shown in the GUI image below, outputs include man months of effort and KSLOC of executable code that will need to developed.
