Abstract
The purpose of this study was to develop a cost estimation model for software development projects of small and medium scale. The model was derived from the Use Case Points, which is usually used to estimate software development effort. The development of our cost estimation model was based on the need for a reference to the estimated costs for software development projects, particularly software development projects of small–medium scale. The cost estimation was used to estimate the allocation of resources spent on covering personnel resources, money, and time to complete the project. The result of this study was a cost estimation model for software development projects of small–medium scale that had been tested with four software projects that had been completed. Testing of the model was performed using data from four projects got level deviations between the estimated cost and the actual cost amounted to 6.89%.
