COSMIC-FFP & Functional Complexity (FC) Measures: A Study of their Scales, Units and Scale Types
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents an overview of some measurement concepts across both COSMIC-FFP, an ISO standard (ISO/IEC 19761) for functional size measurement and Functional Complexity (FC), an entropy-based measure. It investigates in particular three metrological properties (scale, unit and scale type) in both of these measurement methods.

Information Theory-Based Functional Complexity Measures
This paper presents an exploratory study of related concepts across information theory-based measures and functional size measures. Information theory-based software measurement has been used in the design of an entropy-based measure of functional complexity in terms of an amount of information based on some abstraction of the interactions among software components. As a functional size measure...
متن کاملFunctional details visualization and classification in the COSMIC FSM framework
Given the relevance of software functional size measurement to the industry and in practice, improved ways to represent and handle the measurement details can provide significant advantages and make possible to discover new interpretation and exploitation possibilities over measurement results. This work illustrates some enhancement proposal in the COSMIC framework, to improve the significance ...
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 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 کاملImplementing COSMIC-FFP as a replacement for FPA
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...
