Abstract-Empirical studies are important in software engineering to evaluate new tools, techniques, methods and technologies in a structured way before they are introduced in the industrial (real) software process. Perform empirical studies in a real context is very difficult due to various obstacles. An interesting alternative is perform empirical studies in an educational context using students as subjects and share the results with the academia and the industry. This paper describes a case study with two teams that developed a software system (Web application) for a real customer. In this study we used a model based on Function Points Analysis (FPA) to estimate the size and complexity of software system.

Abstract. This paper experimentally evaluates the usefulness of a business application framework from a viewpoint of saving cost and quality of the software in a company. Here, we conducted two case studies. In the case studies, four kinds of applications are developed. Each of them is developed in two ways: using framework-based reuse and conventional module-based reuse. Then, we evaluate the difference among them using the several functionality and complexity metrics. As the results, the framework-based reuse would be more efficient than the module-based reuse in the company.
