This is simply because cocomo ii requires logical sloc as an input instead of physical sloc. Cocomo ii cost drivers for windows albeit the total cost of the project in cocomo models is largely determined by total sloc count, adjustment and scaling parameters for a real project can vary project costs in hundreds of times. Sloc are logical source statements consisting of data declarations and executables. The major difference between dsi and sloc is that a single source line of code may be several physical. Work breakdown estimation this is an effort estimation method based on expert judgment. For example, an ifthenelse statement would be counted as one sloc, but might be counted as several dsi.
