Building the Security Function Point Method for Web Application Vulnerability Remediation

The web application vulnerability remediation activities are important in terms of actual risk management in corporate security activities. However, traditional software development resource estimation methods do not discuss resource estimation for software vulnerability remediation in terms of security. Moreover, it is difficult to estimate the exact web vulnerability remediation resources using correction factors. In these backgrounds this study aims to establish a resource estimation methodology for web application vulnerability remediation in terms of security from the perspective of dynamic analysis, contributing to foundation building for the systematic management of web application vulnerability remediation among information security organizations and related practitioners.

Thus, it is possible tocalculate the web application vulnerability remediation resourcesin a better way.

Sizing Prenatal mPHRs using COSMIC Measurement Method.

This paper presents an empirical evaluation of the COSMIC Function Points method (e.g., ISO 19761) through measuring the functional size of 33 prenatal mobile Personal Health Records (mPHRs) apps. This evaluation compares the functional size of each mobile app measured using the COSMIC method to the score of the app obtained in a previous evaluation that relied on functions extraction using a quality assessment questionnaire. It includes as well an investigation of the relationships between the functional sizes of these apps, their ratings in the apps stores, as well as the number of installs. As results, it was noticed that there is a considerable shift between the rankings of the functional sizes and the functionality scores obtained in the opinion-based questionnaire, for most of the apps assessed. Moreover, the study of the relationship between the functional sizes and the ratings, as well as the number of installs indicated that these variables are not linked, since they are impacted by external factors. The findings support the use of the COSMIC method for these apps in regard to measuring the functional size for further updates or improvements, which can also help developers to have an overview about the existing apps on the market and compare between them. Moreover, COSMIC is more effective since it covers all the features and functionalities of prenatal mPHRs.

Towards Benchmarking User Stories Estimation with COSMIC Function Points-A Case Example of Participant Observatio

Shorter time-to-market and unstable requirements is leading to introduction of Agile and DevOps practices. Story point estimation is becoming handier in Agile/DevOps setting. However, developing user stories and defining sizing unit in terms of story point is subjective process. It lacks benchmarking/standardization in terms of sizing measure and productivity of historical data. COSMIC has been considered as FSM (Functional Size Method). It has flexibility to receive requirements as User stories (popular Agile/Devops method) and derive COSMIC functional units using parametric approach. COSMIC method reduces the subjectivity and populates the productivity parameter for benchmarking. It standardizes the estimation process and can be easily deployed in Agile or DevOps setting. This paper presents the related work on linkages between User stories, COSMIC methods and traditional function point methods. It also presents the outcome of the industry survey conducted on 49 practitioners working in 10 different domains with respective to parametric estimation process adoption and presents 9 real-time case studies developed to demonstrate the usage of COSMIC method in various domains. This paper also attempts to derive mapping process of COSMIC functional process with User Stories with the help of 2 real-time industry case studies.

Utilization of function point method for measuring software project complexity

The purpose of this study is to know the complexity of a project so that the time and cost of project work in accordance with the needs and the company can complete the project on time. The complexity of a project can be defined as something consisting of so many interrelated sections that can be operated in the context of difference and interdependence. The method used to achieve research objectives using the Function Point Method. Function point method is a method used to estimate the complexity of a software project, providing project volume estimates in the form of development resources required before the project is undertaken. This estimate provides an important basis for providing estimates of the resources required by software companies to prepare tender proposals and project plans. One of the problems encountered in software project development is that the project experiences delays in its completion due to errors in estimating the complexity of the project undertaken and impacting the time and cost of the project.

Investigation of minimum zone assessment methods for aspheric shapes

Improvement in metrology of asphere and freeform surfaces is requested in many sectors and industries. ISO standards of Geometrical Product Specifications recommend the usage of the infinite norm L∞ (min-max) to determine the minimum zone (MZ). This is performed by directly minimizing the peak-to-valley (PV) which is the difference between maximum and minimum deviations of the dataset and the reference surface. Performing data fitting according to L∞ remains a major challenge when considering complex geometries such as aspheres and freeform surfaces.In this work, two algorithms for aspheres minimum zone fitting were implemented and compared on generated reference and measured datasets, namely the Exponential Penalty Function and Primal-Dual Interior Point Method The obtained results show that both methods give accurate values of minimum zone. When the number of points increases, a decay in the latter method’ performances was also noticed especially for calculation time and accuracy of returned minimum zone values.

Size and Effort Estimation Based on Problem Domain Measures for Object-Oriented Software

This paper analyzes the correlations between the problem domain measures such as the number of distinct nouns and distinct verbs in the requirements artifacts and the solution domain measures such as the number of software classes and methods in the corresponding object-oriented software. For this purpose, 14 completed software development projects of a CMMI Level-3 certified defense industry company have been analyzed. The observed strong correlation is taken as the indication of linear relationship between the measures and a size estimation model based on linear regression analysis is proposed. Prediction performance of the method is analyzed on the 14 software projects. Moreover, it has been observed that there is a high correlation between the problem domain measures and the development effort. Therefore, the linear regression analysis is also used to estimate the effort in terms of the problem domain measures. The effort estimations are also evaluated and compared with the efforts predicted using the size measured by the COSMIC Function Point (CFP) method. The results show that the proposed method provides more accurate effort estimates compared to the effort estimated by using CFP size measurement.
