Abstract:
There are many systems developed to model and estimate the software development lifecycle of a product, such as Constructive Cost Model (CoCoMo) II and SEER for Software (SEER-SEM). As the demand for security in software engineering rises, engineers are proposing changes to the development lifecycle to better integrate security. These changes in the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) come with the need for changes in how we model the associated costs. Specifically, this paper analyzes the costs of a Web Content Management System with regards to security and proposes adjustments, based on lifecycle changes, to the CoCoMo II cost model that would allow for security to be better factored into project management.
