Methodology to evaluate complexity and cost of developing and maintaining application software for creating information systems (Method CETIN) - this is an algorithmic model assessment value software, developed by a consortium of Kazakh IT companies: Kazakhstan Association of IT-companies Company System Studies "Factor" and JSC "National Information Technologies.
The first edition of the Kazakh techniques appeared in 1994 as in "Methods of assessing complexity of information systems of the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Kazakhstan".
The disadvantages were the methods use the principle of a cascade model of the software lifecycle and experience of a single developer.
