Software size measurement provides a basis for software project management and plays an important role for its activities such as project management estimations, process benchmarking, and quality control. As size can be measured with functional size measurement (FSM) methods in the early phases of the software projects, functionality is one of the most frequently used metric. On the other hand, FSMs are being criticized by being subjective. The main aim of this thesis is increasing the accuracy of the measurements, by decreasing the number of defects concerning FSMs that are measured by COSMIC FSM method. For this purpose, an approach that allows detecting defects of FSMs automatically is developed. During the development of the approach, first of all error classifications are established. To detect defects of COSMIC FSMs automatically, COSMIC FSM Defect Detection Approach (DDA) is proposed. Later, based on the proposed approach, COSMIC FSM DDT (DDT) is developed.

An Error prevention model for cosmic functional size measurement method Salmanoğlu, Murat; Demirörs, Onur; Department of Information Systems (2012) Estimation and measurement of the size of software is crucial for project management activities. Functional size measurement is one of the most frequently used methods to measure size of software and COSMIC is one of the popular methods for functional size measurement. Although precise size measurement is critical, the results may differ because of the errors made in the measurement process. The erroneous measurement results cause lack of confidence for the methods as well as reliability problems for effort...
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 ...
Use of project similarity for software development time estimation Taştekin, Semra Yilmaz; Bilgen, Semih; Erten, Murat; Department of Information Systems (2013) Accurate development time estimation is crucial for project management in general, and critical for software intensive systems projects, in particular. Before beginning the project, little information is available for development details. Therefore, development time may not be estimated correctly. If data on previous projects in the same domain is available, this can be used for development time estimations. At the beginning of the project, requirements are defined and requirements specification document is...
A gis domain framework utilizing jar libraries as components Ödoğru, Ebru; Doğru, Ali Hikmet; Department of Computer Engineering (2005) A Component Oriented Software Engineering (COSE) modeling environment is enhanced with the capability to import executable components and deliver applications through their composition. For this purpose, an interface layer that utilizes JAR libraries as components has been developed. Also, Domain Engineering process has been applied to Geographical Information Systems (GIS) domain and utilized towards converting the environment to a development framework. The interface layer imports JAR libraries into the C...
A Dynamic software configuration management system Kandemir, Fatma Gülşah; Doğru, Ali Hikmet; Erbaş, Cengiz; Department of Computer Engineering (2012) Each software project requires a specialized management to handle software development activities throughout the project life cycle successfully and efficiently. Software governance structures provide easy and efficient ways to handle software development activities. Software configuration management is an important software development activity, and while selecting the right strategy in configuration management, its conformity to the software governance should be considered as well. Software configuration ...
