摘要
Quantitative risk analysis based on the value-based software engineering (VBSE) of Cocomo II cost-estimation model and the Coquolmo quality-estimation model helps to determine when to stop testing software and release the product for use. Risk analysis helps address the problem of testing by balancing the risk exposure of doing to little with the risk exposure of doing to much. The focus of the Cocomo II constructive cost model is a mathematical relationship involving 24 variables used to estimate the effort in person-months required to develop a software product. The parameters of this model include the product's equivalent size in thousands of lines of code (KLOC) and personnel characteristics.
