| 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 object-oriented, integrated CASE -- have the potential to
support the automation of this measurement. In this paper, we discuss
the conceptual development of automated analyzers for function point and
software reusability 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 propose new
metrics for software reusability measurement, including reuse leverage,
reuse value and reuse classification. The functionality and analytic
capabilities of state-of-the-art automated software metrics analyzers
are illustrated in the context of an investment banking industry application. |
