Towards an accurate functional size measurement procedure for conceptual models in an MDA environment

Abstract:

The accurate measurement of the functional size of applications that are automatically generated in MDA environments is a challenge for the software development industry. This paper introduces the OO-Method COSMIC Function Points (OOmCFP) procedure, which has been systematically designed to measure the functional size of object-oriented applications generated from their conceptual models by means of model transformations. The OOmCFP procedure is structured in three phases: a strategy phase, a mapping phase, and a measurement phase. Finally, a case study is presented to illustrate the use of OOmCFP, as well as an analysis of the results obtained. © 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
