Functional Size Measurement Methods

Functional Size Measurement is the approach to quantifying Software in terms of the functionality it delivers to its users independently of the technical and quality aspects of its delivery. It provides a method of normalising measures of Productivity, Speed of Delivery, Quality etc. by providing a common measure of what is delivered which can be used to calculate unit values.

The Base Functional Components that are measured are expressed in terms that people from all backgrounds understand, particularly the business users (or purchasers) of the software. A well-documented measurement provides a valuable resource in the management of the software during its full lifecycle.

The methods supported by UKSMA aim to conform to the International Standard 14143-1:1998 which defines the characteristics of FSM methods. All these methods are well on the way to becoming international standards in their own right. UKSMA has supported this work by part-financing participation in ISO/IEC JTC1/SC7 WG12, the international working group that meets twice per year, and works in the interim via email on the standardisation of FSM Methods and practices.

Members of UKSMA have participated in the development of all these methods, participating in the Counting Practices Committee of IFPUG, the Core Development Team for COSMIC-FFP, and through UKSMA’s Metrics Practices Committee, management of the Mk2 method for which it is the controlling body.
