Bring that next software development project in on time, and under cost. TEMESCAL is the tool that can do it for you. With TEMESCAL your project can be ON-TIME and ON-BUDGET. TEMESCAL is a tool for planning and managing software development projects. Software development projects are notorious for getting bogged down in unforeseen delays and costs. The reason, all to often, is that they are planned by guesswork. TEMESCAL brings you the experience of thousands of development projects. There is a more orderly approach to planning a software project and it is based on the "software equation". The "software equation" was developed after studying over 800 large development projects performed by many different companies and government agencies. The "software equation" has been improved and refined to include data on today's popular languages, such as ADA, C, Pascal, etc., and 8, 16, and 32 bit computers. With TEMESCAL you can: Compare a change in development time for a corresponding change in the number of man-months needed for a development project, Evaluate the development time required in a software project when different languages are used, Calculate the efficiency of each and every programmer and monitor their productivity as the project progresses, and if you have a deadline to meet, you can calculate the number and efficiency level of the programmers required to meet it. The languages supported by TEMESCAL are ADA, Assembly, BASIC, C, COBOL, Forth, Fortran, Modula-2, and PL1. If you plan or manage any software project, you need this program.
