“…Over the past decade, software engineering community has identified the need to develop benchmarking repositories (such as the International Software Benchmarking Standards Group (ISBSG) Dataset 1 [12], the Promise Dataset [23], Laturi/Finnish Software Metrics Association (FISMA) Experience Database [10]) to provide to the community publicly available benchmark data and experience bases 2 that supports reuse of experience and collective learning by understanding, assessing and packaging of the data [2] [3].…”

Abstract. During the past 10 years, the amount of effort put on setting up benchmarking repositories has considerably increased at the organizational, national and even at international levels to help software managers to determine the performance of software activities and to make better software estimates. This has enabled a number of studies with an emphasis on the relationship between software product size, effort and cost drivers in order to either measure the average performance for similar software projects or to develop estimation models and then refine them using the collected data. However, despite these efforts, none of those methods are yet deemed to be universally applicable and there is still no agreement on which cost drivers are significant in the estimation process. This study discusses some of the possible reasons why in software engineering, practitioners and researchers have not yet been able to come up with reasonable and well quantified relationships between effort and cost drivers although considerable amounts of data on software projects have been collected. An improved classification of application types in benchmarking repositories is also proposed.

“…Furthermore today methodologies do not explicitly take in to account the need to collect experience systematically in order to reuse it in future projects. To convey these problems, this work proposes a framework based on the Experience Factory Organization (EFO) model (Basili et al, 1994;Basili et al, 2007;Schneider & Hunnius, 2003) and then use of Quality Improvement Paradigm (QIP) (Basili, 1989). The framework is also specialized within one of the largest firms of current Italian Software Market.…”
