Measuring the functional size of a data warehouse application using COSMIC-FFP
نویسنده
چکیده
A data warehouse system is not the kind of traditional system that is easily sized with FPA, although there have been a number of attempts in literature to do so. In one of the proposed frameworks, the assumption has been made that it would probably make more sense to do a functional size measurement in COSMIC-FFP, because of the layer concept available to the measurer. COSMIC-FFP is a fairly new functional sizing method. One of the reasons this method is developed, is because practitioners found it hard to carry out function point analysis on modern types of functional documentation. This paper will explore the use of COSMIC-FFP to size data warehouse systems.

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 ...
متن کاملOn the applicability of COSMIC-FFP for measuring software throughout its life cycle
Software measurement plays a key role in software engineering and, to improve its performance, an organisation needs to measure software at each stage of the development life cycle. Recently, the COSMIC-FFP measurement method has been developed to improve the measurement of the functional size of a large array of software types. By quantifying software’s functional user requirements, the method...
متن کاملUsing the PRiM method to Evaluate Requirements Models with COSMIC-FFP
The COSMIC-FFP is a standard method that has been proven effective for measuring the functional size of business applications and realtime software systems from their functional user requirements specification. Despite of this, the methods based on COSMIC-FFP usually require a mapping between the concepts in the requirements specification and their own terms and do not take into account non-fun...
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...
