Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to develop a framework of software cost estimation guidelines and to derive a mid-long term direction for development of the software cost estimation guidelines. In this paper, all the steps in the software life cycle are researched in the view of cost estimation, and current software cost estimation guidelines and models have been reviewed and analysed first. Second, a plan to separate unit cost per function point from standard procedure in current software cost estimation guidelines is presented to strengthen maket self-regulating function as a mid-long term developmental direction for software cost estimation guidelines. Third, construction of cost repository, making standard procedure for software cost estimation guidelines, development of various kinds of software cost estimation models, and a system for experts on software cost estimation are presented as the prerequisites for the future model framework of software cost estimation guidelines. Finally a roadmap for establishing the future model is proposed.
