  • In this study, the finite-failure NHPP software reliability model was applied to the software development model based on the Weibull lifetime distribution (Goel-Okumoto, Rayleigh, Type-2 Gumbe), which is widely used in the software reliability field, and then the cost attributes were compared and evaluated. For this study, failure time data detected during normal operation of the software system were collected and used, the most-likelihood estimation (MLE) method was applied to the parameter estimation of the proposed model, and the calculation of the nonlinear equation was solved using the binary method. As a result, first, in the software development model, when the cost of testing per unit time and the cost of removing a single defect increased, the cost increased but the release time did not change, and when the cost of repairing failures detected during normal system operation increased, the cost increased and the release time was also delayed. Second, as a result of comprehensive comparative analysis of the proposed models, it was found that the Type-2 Gumble model was the most efficient model because the development cost was lower and the release time point was relatively faster than the Rayleigh model and the Goel-Okumoto basic model. Third, through this study, the development cost properties of the Weibull distribution model were newly evaluated, and the analyzed data is expected to be utilized as design data that enables software developers to explore the attributes of development cost and release time.

  • In this paper, a model of cost evaluatino for computer software development is proposed . This model is designed to cope with various development environment since the development cost is directly dependent on the development environments. The model that satisfies the users request is turned out to be a function point model. For the future research , a model that contain new technique and new development environment and an imaginative model are desired . Also, in order to effective cost estimation a systematic research on structure of software development , establishment of standard development methodology, project management and technique are desired.

  • The software development cost appraisal is treated as a part of the program completion appraisal, and the software engineering methodology is applied. In particular, software cost estimation techniques have been actively applied. For more information about the software development costs calculation, we can refer to the "SW cost estimation guide". Although successful appraisal of a number of development costs based on the guide has been processed, but a number of cases requiring discussion of appraisal results have been discovered. In this study, we propose a use case-based size estimation method to maintain the accuracy and consistency of size estimation. As a result of performing performance evaluation of the proposed method in an environment similar to the development cost appraisal case, it was proved that the accuracy was improved over the existing function points method.

  • Recently, as application fields of software is extended, relative importance of software make a gradual increase and importance of development cost is being increased. However, as former evaluation model of development cost evaluate at the functional point of view for the most part, at this paper, I intend to propose evaluation model of software development cost COSMOS-Q(COSt MOdel for Subcontract-Quality) which one evaluate also in quality as well as function. The model proposed in this paper set the goal at software orderer evaluate software cost exactly with only order specification information. At this paper, I proposed cost evaluation model and evaluated it's validity refering to review result in ISO/SC7 about a software quality feature with extraction of quality feature factor which produce change of cost and set up the evaluation measure adoptable as order condition.

  • As we know every software development process is pretty large and consists of different modules. This raises the idea of prioritizing different software modules so that important modules can be tested by preference. In the software testing process, it is not possible to test each and every module regressively, which is due to time and cost constraints. To deal with these constraints, this paper proposes an approach that is based on the fuzzy multi-criteria approach for prioritizing several software modules and calculates optimal time and cost for software testing by using fuzzy logic and the fault tolerance approach.

  • Recently, in the Game industries, they are increasing to use of game engines to reduce the development cost of 3D content and software. In particular, Unreal Engine provides a blueprint visual scripting function that enables software production without programming (coding). Although High-end video content can be produced, the problem is that content development is complicated and requires advanced manpower. To solve this problem, we propose an optimized VR game context process. This is because 1) a Blueprint visual script is used, 2) VR games with various interactions can be produced, 3) Non-majors in the software field (or groups) can develop advanced content. In various related industries such as defense, medical care, manufacturing, and construction, we may easily develop any game content without programming with our refined VR rhythm action game development process. We expect to reduce the development cost with the process advantages in the game industries.

  • Recently automotive software has been more complex and needs to be reduced its development time. Software testing of its functionalities and performance should be conducted in an early development phase to reduce time to market and the development cost. Software functional testing can be performed through simulating the hardware, but it is not guaranteed that evaluation of real-time performance using simulation has enough accuracy. Real-time performance can be precisely evaluated with hardware-in-the-loop simulation, but it costs time and effort to set up hardware for testing. In this paper, we suggest a testing system that can evaluate functional requirements and real time properties with a general-purpose development board in the early development phase. In addition, we improve reusability of the testing system through modularized and layered architecture. With the proposed testing system we can contribute to building reliable testing system at low cost without difficulty.

  • The current dual-watchdog estimation system has individually calculated the construction, the engineering and the procurement cost. The dual-watchdog estimation system is inefficient and prolonged estimation period because of the lack of the interoperability and the difference of material unit cost and construction unit cost. In order to resolve this problem, new estimation software was developed. The estimation software is developed by making up for the weak points in existing estimation method. The cost data with the same standard is the key point. And this software enhanced accuracy and speed of the data search in stylized estimation standard. A summary of the construction, the engineering and the procurement cost was generated in this estimation software. The unit rate about the labor cost, equipment and expense through a sheet was handled. The developed estimation software has five categories on engineering cost, procurement cost, construction cost and subcontractor management sheet. In this study, the estimation software to supplement the faults of the existing estimation method was developed. And estimation software on petrochemical projects increases an efficiency of the estimation work.

  • Software is more diverse and complex and the level of importance for the maintenance of application software to securely operate software is also gradually increasing in proportion. The calculation method for maintenance cost of application software applied in Korea public enterprises is involved in the range of 10 to 15% of development cost, depending on the Software Project Cost Estimation Guide. Moreover, as most software maintenance cost estimation procedures do not take into consideration of the risk factors related of maintenance, it can be seen as a main cause for the occurrence of maintenance related accidents. This study proposes a maintenance cost estimate model that takes into consideration of the risks related to the software maintenance activities to improve and resolve issues arising from the estimation of maintenance cost. In doing so, maintenance risk factors are analyzed and a risk index is derived through the analysis of risk levels based on the risk factors. Based on such analysis, a maintenance cost estimate method which reflects the maintenance risk index was established.
