Effective software project estimation is one of the most challenging activities in software development. In today's highly competitive world, accurate software estimation can make the difference between successful projects and dismal failures. Proper project planning and control is not possible without a sound and reliable estimate. In this paper we propose a framework, developed by Ericsson R&D Italy, for project time and cost estimation for software development projects in the telecommunications domain. The customization of Design Structure Matrix (DSM), the application of COSMIC and the study of defect complexity curves are the components of this new estimation framework. The joint application of these three components allows all stakeholders interested in the estimation result to have a common view based on objective data and to understand how a change to functional and quality requirements can impact the result.
