Use of Function Points
/in sizingFunctional 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.
Cost Estimation
/in estimationA trading company would like to replace a large legacy application with an application that offers the same functionality.
Senior management understands that an accurate estimate is the basis for a successful project. They intend to carry out an independent cost estimation by a specialized third party.
In this case study, the steps that were carried out are listed and the results are given.
Software Productivity Versus Speed
/in productivityThe Project Delivery Rate of a project expresses how many effort hours were
spent, on average, to create one function point. Speed expresses how many
function points are created per calendar month. So there is a relationship since
both metrics refer to effort and time. The question is: “How are these metrics
related?”
Low-code Project Productivity
/in productivityA high-level analysis is given of the productivity differences between traditional languages, such as Java or .Net and low code technologies (i.e. drag and drop).
Java Project Productivity
/in productivityJava is a high-level, class-based, object-oriented programming language that is designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible. There is a lot of available data of Java projects in the 2021 ISBSG Development & Enhancement repository – over 2000 projects. This short paper examines the productivity of these projects.
Software Sizing Methods
/in sizingFunctional 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.
Agile Project Productivity
/in agileISBSG has collected more data for projects carried out in an agile-way of working. In this short paper, the difference in productivity between traditional and agile projects is analyzed.
