Abstract
Given the relevance of software functional size measurement to the industry and in practice, improved ways to represent and handle the measurement details can provide significant advantages and make possible to discover new interpretation and exploitation possibilities over measurement results. This work illustrates some enhancement proposal in the COSMIC framework, to improve the significance of the measures and to add such exploitation possibilities, by means of a so-called “data movement diagram ” and a further extension, to include data manipulation classification for functional processes within the software, denoted “functional processing diagram”. Possible advantages of the proposal would be to allow process-to-process comparison and profiling, complexity and reuse evaluation, and visual impact analysis of software changes required by enhancement projects.
