In the framework of function points associated to OO-method conceptual models (OOmFP), measuring the functional size of an information system in a precise and automatic way starting from its conceptual model is today a reality. The industrial application of the OO-Method modelling tools has resulted in their evolution, incorporating support for new functional elements. The present work shows the measurement rules associated to the new functional elements supported by OO-Method conceptual models, applying these rules in tools that generate executable code from OO-Method conceptual models. Finally, a comparative analysis is performed over OO-Method models of real systems. The comparative anal…
An Information Systems Design Product Theory for Software Project Estimation and Measurement Systems
2009
There is relatively little research on software Project Estimation and Measurement Systems (PEMS). Commercial PEMS vary in functionality and effectiveness. Their intended users thus do not know what to expect from PEMS and how to evaluate them. This paper creates an information system design product theory for the class of PEMS that prescribes the meta-requirements, the meta-design, and applicable theories for all products within the class. Meta-requirements and the meta-design are derived from the project estimation and measurement literature, experiences obtained during more than ten years of empirical work in Finnish Software Measurement Association, and a commercially available PEMS.
