A Detailed Analysis of Software Cost Estimation Using Cosmic-ffp
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 user view of functional requirements developed by Common Software Measurement International Consortium (COSMIC) called COSMIC-FFP. By using COSMIC-FFP model, an early prediction of the functional complexity of the software throughout the software development life cycle within given budget constraints, reliability can be done. In this paper, a detailed analysis with process flow of COSMIC-FFP model has been discussed. © 2015 Pak Publishing Group. All Rights Reserved.

Early & 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 ...

This article shows the first results of the adoption of COSMIC Full Function Points as a sizing method replacing function point analysis. The main arguments why COSMIC-FFP was chosen will be explained, the transformation plan will be shown together with the first results of the use of COSMIC-FFP. Next to the management requirement that the new functional sizing method had to be a standard a num...

متن کاملNon-Functional Requirements Size Measurement Method (NFSM) with COSMIC-FFP
Non-functional requirements (NFRs) of software systems are an important source of uncertainty in effort estimation. Furthermore, quantitatively approaching NFR early in a project is difficult. This paper makes a step towards reducing the impact of uncertainty due to NFRs. It offers a new generic classification of the NFRs, and a NFR size measurement method (NFSM) that incorporates NFRs into the...
