The adoption of functional size measurement (FSM) methods in software organizations is growing. In particular, special attention is being paid to the COSMIC method, because of its novelties against 1st generation FSM methods such as IFPUG FPA. One of the main problems facing organizations wanting to use COSMIC is how to properly convert the software functional size of the projects in their portfolio measured by the previously adopted FSM method to the size measured by the new method.

On the Seven Misconceptions about Functional Size Measurement
ÖZKAN, BARIŞ; Demirörs, Onur (2016-10-07)
Among the various approaches to software size measurement, Functional Size Measurement has been widely recognized for its usability in early phases of software development cycles and its independence from implementation language, development method and technology. Starting from its introduction with the original Function Point Analysis method in 1979, functional size has been a favored input to estimation and productivity models. As a result of the search for solutions to emerging measurement needs and the ...
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 ...
The Impact of Individual Assumptions on Functional Size Measurement
Turetken, Oktay; Top, Ozden Ozcan; Ozkan, Baris; Demirörs, Onur (2008-11-20)
Having been improved, evolved and standardized by the Organization for Standardization (ISO), Functional Size Measurement (FSM) methods have become widely used. However, the measurers still face difficulties in measuring the software products which include unconventional components. We faced the challenge to observe if different interpretations or assumptions of the measurers cause significant differences in the measurement results. In this study, we present the results of a multiple case study we conducted...
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...
Exploration of an Error Prevention Model for COSMIC Functional Size Measurement Method
Salmanoğlu, Murat; Demirörs, Onur (2012-10-19)
The reliability of Functional size is crucial for effort and cost estimation in software development projects. However, estimation results may differ because of the errors made in the measurement process. This research proposes an error prevention model for COSMIC Functional Size Measurement method to increase the reliability of the measurements. The model has two main suggestions; first, to use the types of the functional processes during the measurement to prevent errors, and the second, to use a cardinal...
