Measurement of Functional Size in Conceptual Models: A Survey of Measurement Procedures Based on COSMIC
نویسندگان
چکیده
Many functional size measurement procedures have been developed for applying the COSMIC measurement method to particular methods of software production. A subset of these measurement procedures is centered on the measurement of the functional size of the applications from their conceptual models, allowing the generation of indicators in early stages of the development cycle of a software product. This paper presents a survey of these functional size measurement procedures in order to provide a guide for practitioners and researchers. Finally, a general analysis focused on the results obtained in the survey is performed to obtain important lessons that must be considered in the development of correct measurement procedures.

Introduction: The core requirement of successful and innovative organizations is doing right things and doing things right. Nowadays organizations are to perform excellently strategically and operationally so that they can face the current and future world challenges. Performance measurement is one of the ways in directing organization to the right targets and avoid diversity in practices. The ...
متن کاملAutomating the Measurement of Functional Size of Conceptual Models in an MDA Environment
The manual measurement of functional size is generally very timeconsuming and has many precision errors. For this reason, it is necessary to automate the measurement process to obtain a solution that can be applied in a MDA industrial development. The OO-Method COSMIC Function Points (OOmCFP) is a measurement procedure that has been designed to measure the functional size of object-oriented app...
متن کاملMeasuring the Functional Size of Conceptual Models in an MDA Environment
The measurement of the functional size of applications generated in MDA environments is a challenge for the software development industry. This paper presents the OO-Method COSMIC Function Points (OOmCFP), a measurement procedure that has been designed to measure the functional size of object-oriented applications generated from their conceptual models by means of model transformations.
متن کاملFunctional Size Measurement of Multi-layer Object-Oriented Conceptual Models
This paper builds on previous work showing a way to map the concepts used in object-oriented business domain modelling onto (a subset of) the concepts used by the COSMIC Full Function Points (COSMIC-FFP) functional size measurement method for modelling and sizing a software system from the point of view of its functional user requirements. In this paper we present a refined set of measurement r...
متن کاملTESTING FOR AUTOCORRELATION IN UNEQUALLY REPLICATED FUNCTIONAL MEASUREMENT ERROR MODELS
In the ordinary linear models, regressing the residuals against lagged values has been suggested as an approach to test the hypothesis of zero autocorrelation among residuals. In this paper we extend these results to the both equally and unequally replicated functionally measurement error models. We consider the equally and unequally replicated cases separately, because in the first case the re...
