Re-Assessing the Intention to Use a Measurement Procedure based on COSMIC-FFP*

چکیده
This paper describes the replication of an empirical study that was designed to evaluate the adoption of RmFFP in practice. RmFFP is a measurement procedure designed to measure the functional size of objectoriented systems from requirements specifications obtained in the context of the OO-Method approach. This procedure has been designed in accordance with the COSMIC-FFP standard method. The evaluation is based on the Method Adoption Model (MAM), where the intention to use a method is determined by the users’ perceptions. The results show that an intention to use RmFFP exists, and that it is more influenced by usefulness than ease of use.

Scenario -based Black-Box Testing in COSMIC-FFP
A functional size measurement method, COSMIC-FFP, which was adopted in 2003 as the ISO/IEC 19761 standard, measures software functionality in terms of the data movements across and within the software boundary. It focuses on the functional user requirements of the software and is applicable throughout the development life cycle, from the requirements phase up and including to the implementation...
متن کاملNon-Functional Requirements: Size Measurement and Testing with COSMIC-FFP
The non-functional requirements (NFRs) of software systems are well known to add a degree of uncertainty to process of estimating the cost of any project. This paper contributes to the achievement of more precise project size measurement through incorporating NFRs into the functional size quantification process. We report on an initial solution proposed to deal with the problem of quantitativel...

We propose a formalization of the COSMIC Full Function Point (COSMIC-FFP) measure for the Real-time Object Oriented Modeling (ROOM) language. COSMIC-FFP is a measure of functional size. It has been proposed by the COSMIC group as an adaptation of the function point measure for real-time systems. The COSMIC-FFP de nition is general and can be applied to any speci cation language. We propose a fo...

Material measurement standard etalons are widely recognized as critical for accurate measurements in any field. The absence of standard etalons in software measurement is having a negative impact on software engineers when they come to use measurement results in decision-making. To verify measurement results and ensure unambiguous comparability across contexts, researchers in software measureme...
متن کاملEarly & Quick COSMIC-FFP Analysis using Analytic Hierarchy Process
COSMIC-FFP is a rigorous measurement method that makes possible to measure the functional size of the software, based on identifiable functional user requirements allocated onto different layers, corresponding to different levels of abstraction. The key concepts of COSMIC-FFP are software layers, functional processes and four types of data movement (sub-processes). A precise COSMIC-FFP measure ...
