(Extended) Functional size measurement methods are also applicable in enhancement projects

چکیده
Looking at the distribution of the costs of IT, the largest part of the budget is allocated to maintenance and enhancement projects. New development comprises between 30 to 50% of IT costs. Functional size measurement methods are mostly used for new development only. With some extensions to common size measurement methods like Function Point Analysis and COSMIC Full Function Point one can tackle almost all IT activities. Furthermore the same productivity rates (performance) can be used in enhancement projects also. Over the last 10 years we used the extended measurement method based on Function Point Analysis very successfully in a great number of projects.

متن کاملEvaluation of Business Software Systems Development and Enhancement Projects Effectiveness and Economic Efficiency on the basis of Functional Size Measurement
Each rational investment decision, also that made by client with regard to the Business Software Systems (BSS) Development and Enhancement Projects (D&EP), should meet two measurable criteria: of effectiveness and of economic efficiency. In the case of BSS D&EP the assumption concerning measurability of these criteria is often treated as controversial. Thus the paper aims at proving from theore...
متن کاملMeasuring the Size of Small Functional Enhancements to Software
A requirement for productivity models and productivity analysis is to know the size of the product, or the output, of a work process. In software engineering, the product is the software itself. Function Points Analysis (FPA) has been designed to measure the functional size of software applications from a user’s perspective. While it is being used extensively to measure either medium or large s...

COSMIC-FFP (ISO 19761) represents the second generation of functional size of the software, based on its ease of understanding and use and it is applicable to various kinds of software applications; this new method has achieved rapidly an ISO recognition as an international standard as well as market acceptance in various countries. Several organizations are therefore interested in using conver...
