Reliability is typically described initially as a non functional requirement at the system level. Systems engineers must subsequently apportion these system requirements very carefully as either software or hardware requirements to conform to the ...

In the last years some model-driven development approaches have been proposed to automatically generate Web applications starting from conceptual models. Among them, the Object-Oriented Hypermedia method (OO-H) has been successfully used in the ...

Background. After the COSMIC Functional Size Measurement method was proposed, the issue of convertibility between traditional function points and COSMIC function points arose. Several studies have been performed, to evaluate whether a correlation ...

In this paper we use a sequential study approach to empirical software engineering to study a novel idea about assessing the current phase of software evolution, based on the fractal metrics a and the logistic map equation parameter π. It is shown how ...

Context: The concept of transaction is used in Use Case Points (UCP), and in many other functional size measurement methods, to capture the smallest unit of functionality that should be considered while measuring the size of a system. Unfortunately, in ...
