There are various software size measurement methods that are used in various stages of a software project lifecycle. Although functional size measurement methods and lines of code measurements are widely practiced, none of these methods explicitly position themselves in problem or solution domain. This results in unreliable measurement results as abstraction levels of the measured artifacts vary greatly. Unreliable measurement results hinder usage of size data in effort estimation and benchmarking studies. Furthermore, there exists no widely accepted measurement method for solution domain concepts other than lines of code, such as software design. In this study, an approach is defined to distinguish problem and solution domains for a software project and a software size measurement methodology for solution domain is proposed based on software design sizes.

A Functional Software Measurement Approach to Bridge the Gap Between Problem and Solution Domains
Ungan, Erdir; Demirrs, Onur (2015-10-07)
There are various software size measurement methods that are used in various stages of a software project lifecycle. Although functional size measurement methods and lines of code measurements are widely practiced, none of these methods explicitly position themselves in problem or solution domain. This results in unreliable measurement results as abstraction levels of the measured artifacts vary greatly.

Conceptual Association of Functional Size Measurement Methods
Demirörs, Onur; Gencel, Cigdem (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2009-05-01)
Functional size determines how much functionality software provides by measuring the aggregate amount of its cohesive execution sequences. Alan Albrecht first introduced the concept in 1979. Since he originally described the function point analysis (FPA) method, researchers and practitioners have developed variations of functional size metrics and methods. The authors discuss the conceptual similarities and differences between functional size measurement methods and introduce a model for unification.
An Automated defect detection approach for cosmic functional size measurement
Yılmaz, Gökçen; Demirörs, Onur; Department of Information Systems (2012)
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 measu...
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 functionality model for functional size measurement
Özkan, Barış; Demirörs, Onur; Department of Information Systems (2012)
Functional size is among the few software size measures for which well-structured and standardized methods exists for its measurement. Although Functional Size Measurement(FSM) methods have gone a long way, one ongoing criticism on FSM methods is the discrepancies in the measurement results of the same software obtained by different measures. In this thesis study the sources of discrepancies that involve the functional properties of measurands and constructs of the FSM method models are investigated in two ...
