Mapping Predictive Object Point Metrics (POP) with Software Size in OO Environment
نویسندگان
چکیده
Estimating the size of OO software is the main issue today in project planning and development. Accurate estimation of size may lead to precise prediction of effort during the process of system development. Predictive Object Point POPs are a metric designed specifically for estimating the size of object oriented software. But there is no direct relation between POP and Software size. In this paper various issues while mapping POP with software size have been discussed. The factors responsible for the variation in mapping procedure have been identified. Here it is suggested that the POP Count may be mapped to corresponding software size (KLOC) for the projects belong to the same OO environment only which may further help in prediction of effort and cost for that projects.

Assessment of Predictive Object Points (POP) Values for Java Projects
There are number of software development estimation techniques exist for sizing software systems and to support cost measurement like SLOC, Function Point etc. but none is directly applicable to object-oriented software. They all work for specific development environment. PRICE systems has developed the predictive object point (POP) metric for predicting effort required for developing an object...
متن کاملEvaluating the Impact of Object-Oriented Design on Software Quality
This paper describes the results of a study where the impact of Object-Oriented design on software quality characteristics is experimentally evaluated. A suite of metrics for OO design, called MOOD, was adopted to measure the use of OO design mechanisms. Data collected on the development of eight small-sized information management systems based on identical requirements were used to assess the ...
متن کاملNew Quality Inheritance Metrics for Object-Oriented Design
Metrics are used to help a software engineer in quantitative analysis to assess the quality of the design before a system is built. Object-Oriented (OO) design is becoming more popular in software development environment and OO design metrics are essential parts of software environment. The primary purpose of this paper is to analytically evaluate against the Weyuker’s property and empirically ...
متن کاملEmpirical Comparison of two Metrics Suites for Maintainability Prediction in packages of Object-Oriented Systems: a Case Study of Open Source Software
Software maintainability has been an important external quality attribute that concerns both styles of software development, the proprietary model as well as open source. As lots of open source software are predominantly built using the OO paradigm, there exists a need for empirical validation with respect to certain quality aspects especially maintainability. There are a few studies in the pas...
متن کاملMapping the OO-Jacobson Approach into Function Point Analysis
Function Point Analysis measures user requested functionality independent of the technology used for implementation. Software applications are represented in an abstract model that contains the items that contribute to the functional size. When Function Point Analysis is applied to object-oriented software, the concepts of the development method have to be mapped into that abstract model. This ...
