    Software Size Measurement: Bridging Research and Practice
    (IEEE Computer Society, 2024) Hacaloglu,T.; Unlu,H.; Yildiz,A.; Demirors,O.
    Despite the availability of software size measures with proven effectiveness, structured characteristics, and reliability, practitioners often favor subjective estimation approaches like story points due to perceived ease and flexibility. Amid ongoing industry transformations driven by artificial intelligence, distributed architectures, and agile practices, innovative approaches to software size measurement are crucial to aligning research solutions with evolving industry demands. This study investigates the limited adoption of functional size measurement methods in the software development industry despite their research-backed success. By gathering insights from firms experienced in size measurement, the research aims to uncover industry expectations and facilitate the translation of theoretical methodologies into practical applications. This effort seeks to overcome barriers and promote the integration of novel concepts into the software development landscape. IEEE

    Cosmic Light Vs Cosmic Classic Manual: Case Studies in Functional Size Measurement
    (CEUR Workshop Proceedings, 2020) Hacaloğlu, Tuna; Ünlü, Hüseyin; Demirörs, Onur; Abran, Alain
    Functional size has been used in software engineering for more than 40 years. When measured early in the software development life cycle, it can serve as direct input for effort estimation. The COSMIC Functional Size Measurement (FSM) method developed by the Common Software Measurement Consortium (COSMIC) is the latest ISO-compliant functional sizing method. A streamlined manual titled ''Software Development Velocity with COSMIC Function Points'' summarizes the measurement process and shortens the learning time. The aim of this study is to compare the classic COSMIC FSM manual and this new “light” manual in terms of accuracy of the resulting FSM applied to case studies. The findings show that use of the light manual results in accurate measurement. In addition, there were no significant time differences between the two. With respect to the variations in COSMIC Function Points (CFP) values in the two case studies, they three causes were identified: the Object of Interest (OOI) concept and corresponding data groups, details regarding Functional Process Independence, and Error/Confirmation messages related to the scope of the information included in the manuals.
