![]() The case studies presented here showed that these truisms are clearly sub-optimal for certain projects since other factors proved to be far more critical. After extensive simulations of these models, the TAR2 treatment learner was applied to find the model parameters that most improved the potential performance of the real-world systems being modelled. Our tests are based on two well-established SE models: (1) Boehm et.al.’s COCOMO II cost estimation model and (2) Raffo’s discrete event software process model of a software project life cycle. This paper tests the specificity of two SE truisms: (a) increasing software process level is a desirable goal and (b) it is best to remove errors during the early parts of a software lifecycle. The trouble with truisms is that such general principles may not apply in specific cases. Software engineering (SE) truisms capture broadlyapplicable principles of software construction.
