He uses SLOC as his measure.<br /><br />Quoting, "consider the cost of producing two software components having 10,000 new SLOC. If the development cost is $20/SLOC, the cost of each will be [...] $200,000. But suppose that these two components need to be combined into a single product. In addition to the $200,000 it costs to develop each component, the project will incur additional design costs to make them interoperate, integration costs in order to deliver them, testing costs on the integrated system, and rework costs to fix any integration defects. The total number of SLOC is still 20,000, but the cost will be greater than 2*$200,000..."Michael Watermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13727958568384473423noreply@blogger.com
