Determining the size of a software application using a specific methodology.
This short paper examines whether there have been more New Development or Enhancement type projects submitted to the ISBSG Repository. It investigates whether the median project size for these projects has increased or decreased over time.
Functional size (function points) is universally considered to be the square meter of the software
industry. It is the only international standard used to measure the size of software in a standardized,
objective, repeatable, verifiable and defensible way.
Functional size (function points) is the only international standard to measure the size of software in a standardized, objective, repeatable, verifiable and therefore defensible way. This report examines methods used by projects in the ISBSG Data Repository.
Julián Gómez, Brand Manager at LedaMC, discusses the 7 key points of function point methodology. These include: product focus, use by the international community, improved communication between Business and IT, use of indicators to contextualize software developments, standardization of methods to enable comparisons and finally, certification.
Software sizing is an essential measure. Learn about its use in evaluating open source and other software code.
Determining software size is a critical step. This presentation presents an overview of early software sizing techniques available.
This analysis compares the data from the AMMS database and the studies carried out by ISBSG.
Counting examples will be presented in cloud architectures, highlighting critical aspects of functional measurement . This will show their relevance on the accuracy of the results.
Learn about the measurement of device-centric applications. Use approaches to establish the applicability and ensure the repeatability of these measurements. IFPUG Function Point and SNAP methods are applied to IoT wearable devices, such as the FitBit.
For decades, Functional Size Measurement has been considered best practice for mature organizations, facilitating crucial management processes such as project estimation, project control, performance measurement, benchmarking, vendor management, contracting and others.
