Abstract :
The COCOMO II model was created to meet the need for a cost model that accounted for future software development practices. This paper describes some of the experiences learned in calibrating COCOMO II Post-Architecture model from eighty-three observations. The results of the multiple regression analysis, their implications, and a future calibration strategy are discussed
