Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reliability of Function Points Measurement: A Field Experiment Software engineering management encompasses two major functions, planning and control, both of which require the capability to accurately and reliably measure the software being delivered Flaming of software development projects emphases estimation of the size of the delivered system in order that appropriate budgets and schedules can be agreed upon. Without valid size estimates, this process is likely to be highly inaccurate, leading to software that is delivered late and over budget. Control of software development requires a means to measure progress on the project and to perform after - the-fact evaluations of the project in order, for example, to evaluate the effectiveness of the tools and techniques employed on the project to improve productivity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Improving the Reliability of Function Point Measurement: An Empirical Study: October 1991 Information Systems development has operated for virtually its entire history without the quantitative measurement capability of other business functional areas such as marketing or manufacturing. Today, managers of Information Systems organizations are increasingly taken to task to measure and report, in quantitative terms, the effectiveness and efficiency of their internal operations. In addition, measurement of information systems development products is also an issue of increasing importance due to the growing costs associated with information systems development and maintenance. One measure of the size and complexity of information systems that is growing in acceptance and adoption is Function Points, a user-oriented non-source line of code metric of the product of systems development. Recent previous research has documented the degree of reliability of Function Points as a metric. This research extends that work by (a) identifying the major sources of variation through a survey of current practice, and (b) estimating the magnitude of the effect of these sources of variation using detailed case study data from actual commercial systems. The results of the research show that a relatively small number of factors have the greatest potential for affecting reliability, and recommendations are made for using these results to improve the reliability of Function Point counting in organizations.

Download or read book A Comparative Study of the Reliability of Function Point Analysis in Software Development Effort Estimation Models written by and published by . This book was released on 1990 with total page 93 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Air Force of the 1990's is steadily growing more reliant on software systems. However, the struggle to develop reliable cost and effort estimation tools continues. The Standard Systems Center (SSC), Gunter AFB AL, has adopted the use of Function Point Analysis to improve estimation of data processing, management and communication systems. Function point analysis was introduced by IBM's Alan Albrecht in 1979 as an alternative to source line of code (SLOC) as a size and productivity measure. In 1991, Tecelote Research, Inc., under contract to the SSC, delivered the Software Program Acquisition Network Simulation (SPANS) model incorporating the capability to perform estimates using function point measures. This research examines the ability of SPANS to reliably and accurately estimate software project effort with function points. A further investigation compares the predictions derived by SPANS with two other software estimation tools, Checkpoint and Costar.

Download or read book IT Measurement written by International Function Point Users Group and published by Addison-Wesley Professional. This book was released on 2002 with total page 808 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With Contributions by Capers Jones, Howard Rubin, David Garmus, Lawrence Putnam, and Elizabeth Clark The accurate, quantitative measurement of software quality and process performance is rapidly becoming an essential part of competition in the ever-tightening software marketplace. Software metrics provide insights into productivity and quality gains from improvements in skill, technology, and development methodology. An effective metrics program helps practitioners assemble the best team, select the optimal development methodology, and enhance the quality of a software product. In short, metrics enable software developers to pursue proven, successful strategies, and to change course when metrics point to less-than-optimum quality or productivity. Written by the world's leading authorities in the field, IT Measurement showcases state-of-the-art in software metrics and provides the practical knowledge that practitioners need in order to take full advantage of software metrics technology. The book's collected articles offer important perspectives on the role of metrics in the development process, and show how metrics directly enhance software quality and output efficiency. The book explores several vital areas, including Function Point Analysis, project estimation and management, outsourcing, statistical process control, and more. These articles range from basic theory to the sophisticated application of metrics. Specific topics covered include: The expanding role of function point metrics Work output measurement for IT work units The use of metrics for tracking Enhanced estimation with metrics Metrics in outsourcing Standardization of SLOC The application of SPC to performance management Functional metrics in B2B e-commerce project success Enlightening and pragmatic, IT Measurement will help you gain a deeper understanding of software metrics and the ability to apply concrete measures in order to objectively evaluate and more finely shape your software development program. 020174158XB02212002

Download or read book Software Measurement and Estimation written by Linda M. Laird and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2006-06-05 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An effective, quantitative approach for estimating and managing software projects How many people do I need? When will the quality be good enough for commercial sale? Can this really be done in two weeks? Rather than relying on instinct, the authors of Software Measurement and Estimation offer a new, tested approach that includes the quantitative tools, data, and knowledge needed to make sound estimations. The text begins with the foundations of measurement, identifies the appropriate metrics, and then focuses on techniques and tools for estimating the effort needed to reach a given level of quality and performance for a software project. All the factors that impact estimations are thoroughly examined, giving you the tools needed to regularly adjust and improve your estimations to complete a project on time, within budget, and at an expected level of quality. This text includes several features that have proven to be successful in making the material accessible and easy to master: * Simple, straightforward style and logical presentation and organization enables you to build a solid foundation of theory and techniques to tackle complex estimations * Examples, provided throughout the text, illustrate how to use theory to solve real-world problems * Projects, included in each chapter, enable you to apply your newfound knowledge and skills * Techniques for effective communication of quantitative data help you convey your findings and recommendations to peers and management Software Measurement and Estimation: A Practical Approach allows practicing software engineers and managers to better estimate, manage, and effectively communicate the plans and progress of their software projects. With its classroom-tested features, this is an excellent textbook for advanced undergraduate-level and graduate students in computer science and software engineering.
