| Abstract: | Measurement of software development productivity is needed in order to
control software costs, but it is discouragingly labor-intensive and
expensive. Computer aided software engineering (CASE) technologies --
especially repository-based, integrated CASE -- have the potential to
support the automation of this measurement. In this paper, we discuss
the development of automated analyzers for function point and software
reuse measurement for object-based CASE. Both analyzers take advantage
of the existence of a representation of the application system that is
stored within an object repository, and that contains the necessary
information about the application system. We also discuss metrics for
software reuse measurement, including reuse leverage, reuse value and
reuse classification, that are motivated by managerial requirements and
the efforts, within industry and the IEEE, to standardize measurement.
The functionality and the analytical capabilities of state-of-the-art
automated software metrics analyzers are illustrated in the context of
an investment banking industry application, that is similar to systems
deployed at the New York City-based investment bank where these tools
were developed and tested. |
