Survey of automation tools supporting COSMIC FFP-ISO 19761

Many software tools have been developed to support the implementation of the ISO-19761 COSMIC-FFP standard on functional size measurement. This paper presents a reference framework made up of the set of functions that is of interest to practitioners who implement ISO functional size measurement standards. It also includes a 2006 survey of COSMIC-related tools available both on the market and in the research community. Finally, a gap analysis is presented in which the functions that still need to be addressed by tool vendors are identified.
