National bodies that are members of ISO or IEC participate in the development of International Standards through technical committees established by the respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical activity. ISO

13、 and IEC technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the work. In the field of information technology, ISO and IEC have established a joint technical committee, ISO

14、/IEC JTC 1. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of the joint technical committee is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the joint technical committee are circulated to nationa

19、6:2012ISO/IEC 14143-6:2012(E) ISO/IEC 2012 All rights reserved vIntroduction Functional Size Measurement (FSM) is a technique used to measure size of software by quantifying the Functional User Requirements of the software. The first published method to embrace this concept was Function Point Analys

20、is, developed by Allan J. Albrecht in the late 1970s. Since then, numerous extensions and variations of the original method have been developed. In the field of ISO/IEC International Standards, the following Functional Size Measurement-related International Standards and Technical Reports have been

21、published: ISO/IEC 14143 series, parts 1 to 5, ISO/IEC 19761 (COSMIC method), ISO/IEC 20926 (IFPUG method) ISO/IEC 20968 (Mk II method), ISO/IEC 24570 (NESMA method), and ISO/IEC 29881 (FiSMA method). This part of ISO/IEC 14143 was established to provide FSM Method users and developers with a guide

22、as to how these International Standards and Technical Reports relate to each other and how to use them. The Functional Size (FS) obtained by measuring a piece of software, contributes to a better understanding of the characteristics of the software as well as the development, maintenance and support

23、 activities thereof. The three types of International Standards and Technical Reports related to the definition and use of FS and/or Functional Size Measurement (FSM) are: a) Concept Standards: Describe concepts and provide definitions, b) Supporting Standards: Supply information to assist in the ev

24、aluation of Functional Size Measurement Methods (FSMM) and examples of the software domains that they measure, and c) Method Standards: Define instances of FSMMs. Any FSMM, other than the Method Standards, can be used to measure FS as long as it conforms to ISO/IEC 14143-1. FSMMs can vary in their c

25、apability to measure software in different domains. Therefore, before deciding on which FSMM to use, it is advisable to assess the capability of the method to adequately size the software to be measured. This part of ISO/IEC 14143 provides guidance on how to select a suitable FSMM using all FSM-rela

26、ted standards. The FS results obtained from applying the selected FSMM can be used for a variety of purposes throughout the lifecycle of the software. This part of ISO/IEC 14143 also provides illustrative examples of how to use FSM and functional size to manage aspects of software development and ma

27、intenance.

28、This part of ISO/IEC 14143 provides a summary of the FSM-related standards and the relationship between; a) the ISO/IEC 14143 series FSM framework International Standards that provide the definitions and concepts of FSM, and conformity and verification of FSMMs, and b) the ISO/IEC standard FSMMs, i.

29、e. ISO/IEC 19761, ISO/IEC 20926, ISO/IEC 20968, ISO/IEC 24570 and ISO/IEC 29881. This part of ISO/IEC 14143 also provides a process to assist users to select and develop an FSMM that meets their requirements as well as providing guidance on how to use FS. FSMMs include, but are not limited to, ISO/I

30、EC 19761, ISO/IEC 20926, ISO/IEC 20968, ISO/IEC 24570 and ISO/IEC 29881. NOTE An FSMM is a software sizing method that conforms to the mandatory requirements of ISO/IEC 14143-1. Recommending a specific FSMM is outside the scope of this part of ISO/IEC 14143. The audiences of this part of ISO/IEC 141

Over time

33、 numerous methods have been devised to do this of which five of them conform to ISO/IEC 14143-1 became the International Standards. Although these methods vary in the rules they use to measure software, they all focus on measuring FUR of software. ISO/IEC 14143-1 defines concepts of FSM and FSMM. Su

34、bsequent parts of ISO/IEC 14143 (ISO/IEC 14143 series) have been developed to evaluate FSMMs. The following clauses outline these FSM related standards.
