Fig. 33.2 shows a plot of estimated effort versusproductsize.Fromfig.33.2,wecanobservethattheeffortissomewhatsuperlinearinthesizeof the software product.Thus, the effortrequired to develop a product increases very rapidlywithproject size. Fig.33.2:Effortversusproductsize The development time versus the product size in KLOC is plotted in fig. 33.3. From fig. 33.3, itcan be observed that the development time is a sub linear function of the size of the product, i.e.when the size of the product increases by two times, the time to develop the product does 165 Software Engineering Keerthana P, Manasa KN, Ganga D Bengal
