Use Case Point Methods For Analysis of Software Development Cost In Information Communication Technology Units of Khairun University

Abstract

The Information and Communication Technology Unit (ICTU) is a technical implementation unit in the field of information and communication technology development and management. Currently, Khairun University's ICTU is undertaking a software development project, one of which involves creating an application called "Permata". In the process of developing this application, one of the common challenges faced is estimating the project costs for software development, as the developers do not yet have a standard method to determine the costs of software development. The objective of this research is to produce a Use Case Point application for estimating the costs of software development at ICTU, Khairun University. The Use Case Point (UCP) method is derived from the Function Point Analysis (FPA) method and aims to provide a simple estimation method oriented toward software project objects. The software objects involved in this method are Actor Types (UAW), Use Case Weight (UUCW), Technical System Development Complexity (TF), and Development Environment Complexity (EF). The estimated time value for developing the Permata application is 1,389.844855 man-hours, equivalent to approximately 1.904 months. The estimated cost for the Permata application is Rp129,099,127.
