This is a method for analysis and measurement of information processing applications based on end user functional view of the system. The MK II Method (ISO/IEC 20968 Software engineering—Mk II Function Point Analysis—Counting Practices Manual [1]) is one of five currently recognized ISO standards for Functionally sizing software.
The function point is a "unit of measurement" to express the amount of business functionality an information system (as a product) provides to a user. Function points are used to compute a functional size measurement (FSM) of software.
The Simple Function Point (SFP) method [1] is a lightweight Functional Measurement Method.. The Simple Function Point method was designed by Roberto Meli in 2010 to be compliant with the ISO14143-1 standard and compatible with the International Function Points User Group (IFPUG) Function Point Analysis (FPA) method.
Cyclomatic complexity is a software metric used to indicate the complexity of a program. It is a quantitative measure of the number of linearly independent paths through a program's source code . It was developed by Thomas J. McCabe, Sr. in 1976.
In software engineering and development, a software metric is a standard of measure of a degree to which a software system or process possesses some property. [1] [2] Even if a metric is not a measurement (metrics are functions, while measurements are the numbers obtained by the application of metrics), often the two terms are used as synonyms.
Software measurement is a quantified attribute (see also: measurement) of a characteristic of a software product or the software process. It is a discipline within software engineering . The process of software measurement is defined and governed by ISO Standard ISO 15939 (software measurement process).
SNAP is the acronym for "Software Non-functional Assessment Process," a measurement of the size of non-functional software. The SNAP sizing method complements ISO/IEC 20926:2009, which defines a method for the sizing of functional software.
GQM defines a measurement model on three levels: [7]. 1. Conceptual level (Goal) A goal is defined for an object, for a variety of reasons, with respect to various models of quality, from various points of view and relative to a particular environment.
