SoftwareLite

O aplikaciji

SoftwareLite helps to accurately measure the software scope. This app serves mainly for the application of the COSMIC Function Point method (as International Standard ISO/IEC 19761) in a simplified form (as LeanCOSMIC) and can be used via the button "Software Sizing". Up to 20 so-called functional processes and up to 15 associated data groups (as identification of the COSMIC metrics (data movement)) can be defined/acquired. The determination of the COSMIC Function Points (CFP) with the four sub metrics Entries, Exits, Reads and Writes then takes place via the COSMIC Sizing Button whereby each functional process receives its CFP and the total CFP (Total CFP) is then displayed. This app also enables the application of a shortened COSMIC method as Early & Quick Method and the local extension approach of the process CFPs (e.g. by considering the "inner" functional scope) as Extend Method. The measurement data can be provided with an identification and stored within the app (and reloaded later).

For helpful information the app pages contain links to the COSMIC community, to SML@b, to our metrics bibliography on our GI website as well as to the risks of Peter Neumann and a SWEBOK classification for software engineering in general.

This App is useful for short and fast project management in the agile development and as educational support for computer science students and professionals.

This (Lite) app calculates the software scope, stores the respective measurement results and motivates for the application of the cost estimation possibilities and the project controlling with the SoftwareExpert app.
