“…In [14], an FSM procedure for real-time embedded software, based on the COSMIC-ISO 19761 standard was proposed for software requirements modeled using the Simulink model. The design of this FSM procedure is based on the mapping of key concepts in both Simulink and COSMIC, and the identification of the mapping rules for extracting the information stored in the Simulink files that is required for measurement.…”

“…This survey shows that most COSMIC-based FSM procedures target the Management Information Systems domain [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11], while a few others cover the realtime embedded domain [12][13]. Since then, an FSM procedure for real-time embedded software, based on the COSMIC method, version 3.0.1 (ISO 19761), and with requirements documented using the Simulink model, was proposed in [14]. Another procedure [15] has been proposed for real-time software code size estimation using a UML profile.…”

“…The design of the FSM procedure in [14] is based on the mapping of key concepts in both Simulink and COSMIC, and on the identification of the mapping rules for extracting the information stored in the Simulink files that is required for measurement. This procedure is designed to obtain the functional size of software and reduce measurement variance caused by the interpretations of individual measurers.…”

“…Hence, if the proposed FSM in [14] is applied on two different models of the same functional requirements, a variance of the measurement results could be detected. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a refinement to the FSM procedure proposed in [14], which is based on the COSMIC method to obtain the functional size of software requirements expressed with the Simulink tool. We provide an explanation and documentation of the problem of the variance caused by different designs using the Simulink tool.…”

COSMIC-based functional size measurement (FSM) procedures should all produce the same measurement results, no matter what design decisions are made when modeling the functional requirements of the software to be measured. When the FSM procedure proposed in [14] is applied to different models of the same functional requirements, the measurement results vary. This problem is addressed, and a refined FSM procedure for real-time embedded software is proposed. The revised rules of this refined FSM procedure are based on an analysis of the issues detected in [14], and a solution to the variance issue is offered as a result.

SUMMARYAccurate estimation of Software Code Size is important for developing cost-efficient embedded systems. The Code Size affects the amount of system resources needed, like ROM and RAM memory, and processing capacity. In our previous work, we have estimated the Code Size based on CFP (COSMIC Function Points) within 15% accuracy, with the purpose of deciding how much ROM memory to fit into products with high cost pressure. Our manual CFP measurement process would require 2.5 man years to estimate the ROM size required in a typical car. In this paper, we want to investigate how the manual effort involved in estimation of Code Size can be minimized. We define a UML Profile capturing all information needed for estimation of Code Size, and develop a tool for automated estimation of Code Size based on CFP. A case study will show how UML models save manual effort in a realistic case.
