Conference Object Size Measurement and Effort Estimation in Microservicebased Projects: Results From Pakistan(CEUR-WS, 2023) Demirörs, Onur; Ünlü, Hüseyin; Ahmad, Isra Shafique; Demirörs, Onur; 03.04. Department of Computer Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyDuring the last decade, microservice-based software architecture has been a common design paradigm in the industry and has been successfully utilized by organizations. Microservice-based software architecture, specifically in the form of reactive systems, has substantial differences from the more conventional design paradigms, such as the object-oriented paradigm. The architecture moved away from being data-driven and evolved into a behavior-oriented structure. The usage of a single database is replaced by the structures in which each microservice is developed independently and has its own database. Therefore, adaptation demands software organizations to transform their culture. In this study, we aimed to get an insight into how Pakistani software organizations perform size measurement and effort estimation in their software projects which embrace the microservice-based software architecture paradigm. For this purpose, we surveyed 49 Pakistani participants from different agile organizations over different roles and domains to collect information on their experience in microservice-based projects. Our results reveal that although Pakistani organizations face challenges, they continue using familiar subjective size measurement and effort estimation approaches that they have used for traditional architectures. © 2023 Copyright for this paper by its authors.Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 1A Survey on Cosmic Students Estimation Challenge(CEUR-WS, 2022) Hacaloğlu, Tuna; Say, Bilge; Demirörs, Onur; Küçükateş Ömüral, Neslihan; Demirörs, Onur; 03.04. Department of Computer Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologySoftware project management is a significant software engineering practice that is highly related to achieving software-specific project goals. This study aims to share students’ perceptions of incorporating an international software estimation challenge called “COSMIC Students’ Estimation Challenge” into a software project management course. For this aim, students were taught the COSMIC Functional Size Measurement method and entered the competition. After the competition, a questionnaire asking for the students’ opinions was collected. The objective of the research is to get an insight into to what extent incorporating this type of competition activity -a challenge- can contribute to students’ learning perceptions. In the long run, the findings can contribute to creating a foresight about making the necessary curriculum arrangements to form a more up-to-date and dynamic education plan by including the methods applied in the software industry in Software Engineering education. The results suggest that this kind of competition experience and preparation is helpful for students to learn the COSMIC method.
