The International Cost Estimating and Analysis Association (ICEAA) recognizes that software is becoming an increasingly critical part of the cost of all systems. ICEAA has started the development of a specialized Software Cost Estimating Body of Knowledge (SCEBoK) that will supplement our Cost Estimating Body of Knowledge (CEBoK®). In this overview, we will provide an introduction to ICEAA’s offerings and discuss the development of the body of knowledge, including its scope and purpose, and the planned specialty certification in software cost estimating.
