IEEE 2430 Non-Functional Sizing Measurements: A Numerical Placebo

Abstract:

The IEEE 2430 measurement design fails primary school mathematics and produces numerical noise rather than a number with metrological properties required in engineering. This article presents an alternative approach to nonfunctional requirement sizing utilizing the COSMIC ISO 19761 method. The COSMIC method has been designed to correct the mathematical and metrological flaws in the design of the first-generation function points. The expression ‘second generation of function points’ represents the design of function points methods meeting the metrology criteria widely recognized and documented in the Vocabulary International in Metrology (VIM). The alternative measurement approach adopted by the COSMIC Group, NFR allocated as software functions, can be measured with the classic COSMIC function points, inheriting their strong metrological properties.
