| Abstract | Software development effort can be greatly influenced by the process maturity level of the development organization. This paper investigates the influence of different process maturity levels on the development effort of standard size software projects. The software development effort is computed using COnstructive COst MOdel (COCOMO). The percent increase/decrease (change) in software development effort, productivity of development team and diseconomy of scale are used as the primary measures of effectiveness for this study. The results indicate that the influence of process improvement based on CMM maturity levels increases with the size of the software development projects. |
