Enterprise Applications are known as one of the best practices of software reuse. They are complex applications, including most of the business processes. In this domain, size measurements and effort predictions are mostly performed in an ad-hoc fashion, and they frequently suffer from schedule and budget overruns. We developed a size measurement method for Enterprise Applications and explained this novel method in this paper. We categorized transactions as “unchanged”, “changed”, and “new” in this method. We defined a size measurement unit, Data Transaction Point (DTP), and measured size as DTP in these categories. We conducted a sample size measurement with a well-known business process to demonstrate the implementation of the method.

A size measurement method for enterprise applications
KÜÇÜKATEŞ ÖMÜRAL, NESLİHAN; Koçyiğit, Altan; Demirörs, Onur; Department of Information Systems (2022-8)
Enterprise Applications are complex, effort-intensive applications that include most of the business processes of the enterprises. They differ from traditional software applications by their high reuse rates. Effort predictions for these applications are usually performed in an ad-hoc fashion and result in large variations. Prediction models utilizing traditional software size measures do not produce accurate results either. In this thesis, we developed a size measurement method considering the unique chara...
Exploring reuse levels in ERP projects in search of an effort estimation approach
Demirörs, Onur; Omural, Neslihan Kucukates (2018-08-31)
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) projects have special characteristics that differentiate them from other kinds of software projects. Main difference that affects effort estimation results is high reuse rates of ERP projects. This paper presents our exploratory work to establish an approach to calculate reuse reflective size of ERP projects, which could be a primary input for effort estimation. We explored the usability of COSMIC function points as the base unit and its convertibility to reuse reflective ...
A Software benchmarking methodology for effort estimation
Nabi, Mina; Demirörs, Onur; Department of Information Systems (2012)
Software project managers usually use benchmarking repositories to estimate effort, cost, and duration of the software development which will be used to appropriately plan, monitor and control the project activities. In addition, precision of benchmarking repositories is a critical factor in software effort estimation process which plays subsequently a critical role in the success of the software development project. In order to construct such a precise benchmarking data repository, it is important to have ...
A method for product defectiveness prediction by using process enactment data in a small software organization
Sivrioğlu, Damla; Demirörs, Onur; Tarhan, Ayça; Department of Information Systems (2012)
As a part of the quality management, product defectiveness prediction is vital for small software organizations as for instutional ones. Although for defect prediction there have been conducted a lot of studies, process enactment data cannot be used because of the difficulty of collection. Additionally, there is no proposed approach known in general for the analysis of process enactment data in software engineering. In this study, we developed a method to show the applicability of process enactment data for...
An Ontology based approach to requirements reuse problem in software product lines
Karataş, Elif Kamer; Birtürk, Ayşenur; Department of Computer Engineering (2012)
With new paradigms in software engineering such as Software Product Lines, scope of reuse is enlarged from implementation upto design, requirements, test-cases, etc. In this thesis an ontology-based approach is proposed as a solution to systematic requirement reuse problem in software product lines, and the approach is supported with a reuse automation tool. A case study is performed on the projects of an industrial software product line using hereby proposed solution and then based on the evaluated metrics...
