Context: software development effort estimation is a crucial management task that critically
depends on the adopted size measure. Several Functional Size Measurement (FSM) …

Some size measures have been proposed in the literature to be employed in estimating
Web application development effort, but to date few empirical studies have been undertaken …

A reliable effort estimation is crucial for a successful web application development planning.
Several approaches exist to address this issue. Among them, the algorithmic approach is …

Context. Model-driven development approaches facilitate the production of Web
applications. Among them, the Object-Oriented Hypermedia method (OO-H) has been …

The manual measurement of functional size is generally very time-consuming and has many
precision errors. For this reason, it is necessary to automate the measurement process to …

Web development is moving towards model-driven processes whose goal is the
development of Web applications at a higher level of abstraction based on models and …

We describe an approach to predict Web application development effort, which is based on
the main ideas underlying COSMIC-FFP (Cosmic Full Function Point). The method is …

This paper describes a laboratory experiment which evaluates OO-method function points
for the Web. OOmFPWeb measures the functional size of Web applications using conceptual …

Web engineering, an emerging new discipline, advocates a process and a systematic
approach to development of high quality Web based systems. In contrast the commercial …

The objective of this paper is to empirically evaluate OOmFPWeb, a functional size
measurement procedure for Web applications. We analyzed four data sets from a family of …
