| dc.description | Cost benefit analysis is a branch of software engineering which involves the process of weighing the total expected costs against the total expected benefits of one or more actions in order to choose the most profitable option. It is a relatively simple and widely used technique for deciding whether to adopt a software solution or not. (Baecker,1995) [4]. The East Africa sub-region comprises the three states of Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania which belong to the sub-regional economic bloc, the East African Cooperation (EAC). Under the framework of EAC, Mutula (2001)[38] adds, the member states development agenda emphasizes development of infrastructure and technological capacities as critical dimensions in the realization of a single market and investment area. EAC envisions the need for sub-regional integration in the development of information systems and information networks in all sectors of their national economies. This study purposed to improve the accuracy of software development cost estimation tool in EAC . The software uses some of the parameters used in COCOMO II for effort estimation and the local parameters used locally. The study established that most of the firms in the country rarely quantify software benefits as such it is only the costing tool that was developed. | |
