Much effort has been expended over the last several years to construct various tools which predict the development schedules and costs of software projects. The organizations which contract out system development work are starting to request that the contractor use a specific costing tool during the bid.This paper reports the results and recommendations of a software costing tool evaluation project which was recently carried out at MacDonald Dettwiler. The primary project goal was to model a suite of the company's completed projects and determine if currently available commercial tools could predict effort and elapsed project time.
