Measurement Convertibility - From Function Points to COSMIC-FFP
نویسندگان
چکیده
Several organizations are interested in using convertibility ratios between COSMICFFP (ISO 19761), the second generation of functional size of the software, and Function Points Analysis – FPA (ISO 20926). This paper presents a survey of previous convertibility studies and reports on findings from an additional data set. In summary, these studies indicate that convertibility can be simple and straightforward when only human users are taken into account in the measurement viewpoint. It also provides indication that convertibility can be less straightforward is some instances.

Convertibility of Function Points to COSMIC-FFP: Identification and Analysis of Functional Outliers
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...
متن کاملConvertibility Between IFPUG and COSMIC Functional Size Measurements
Since 1984 the International Function Point Users Group (IFPUG) has produced and maintained a set of standards and technical documents about a functional size measurement methods, known as IFPUG, based on Albrecht Fuction Points. On the other hand, in 1998, the Common Software Measurement International Consortium (COSMIC) proposed an improved measurement method known as Full Function Points (FF...
متن کاملDefinition and Validation of a COSMIC-FFP Functional Size Measure for Object-Oriented Systems
COSMIC Full Function Points is an ISO approved functional size measurement method for modeling and sizing software systems based on their functional user requirements. Recently, there have been some proposals to map the concepts of the COSMIC-FFP meta-model onto the concepts used in UML and other OO modeling approaches. Given the many problems with COSMIC-FFP’s main predecessor, Function Points...
متن کاملA Detailed Analysis of Software Cost Estimation Using Cosmic-ffp
Software cost estimation is one of the most challenging tasks in software engineering. For the estimation, Function points are useful in the business application software domain and problematic in the real-time software domain. Full Function Points (FFP) are useful for functionality-based estimation, specifically for real-time and embedded software. Functional size measurement method that has u...
متن کاملA Formal Definition of Cosmic-ffp for Automated Measurement of Room Specifications
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...
