dc.description.abstract Modelling the effect of size on software development issues has been the object of considerable research in the software engineering community. The size metrics form an integral part of software project cost estimation models.The effects of the interaction between software size, average team size, total development effort, and elapsed development time are examined and modelled. The research included the capture and analysis of empirical data from 15 commercial fourth generation language data processing developments. This paper reports on the results of this study and the equations which were developed to model the effect of average development team size on productivity and total development effort. In addition, models relating system size and development effort are discussed. en
