Addition of a software estimation capability to the SimSE educational software game

Estimation of software projects efforts is one of the early management tasks in a software initiative and a particularly challenging one. To train software project managers, simulation tools based on games concepts and technologies have been used successfully. However, available educational simulators do not tackle this first critical task in a software project, that is the estimation of the software project effort. This R&D project will add a
software estimation capability to an educational software used in software project management courses. It will integrate the COSMIC – ISO 19761 standard on software functional size measurement as well as software
estimation models. This project will integrate many concepts and techniques from the project management body of knowledge and the software engineering literature.
