Software size measurement methods classification There is an important distinction between functional size measurement methods and other (non-functional size measurement methods or hybrid methods). Functional size measurement methods measure the functionality (‘what does the software do’) that the software offers its users and quantifies this in some way. The more functionality the user can use, this greater the size of the software. One of the main advantages of these type of methods are that the size is independent of technology used (e.g. Java, .Net, Oracle) and implementation method used (COTS, waterfall development, agile development, etc.). Non-functional size measurement methods measure the technical artifacts of the software, usually the software code that is constructed. There are also hybrid methods available that measure functional aspects, technical aspects and sometimes also environmental aspects of the software project in order to come up with a size, e.g. Use Case Points. However, most methods either measure the functional size or the technical size of software. - Study24x7
