Abstract

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 focused on counting data movements and turns out to be suitable for capturing the specific aspects of dynamic Web applications, which are characterized by data movements to and from Web servers. It is based on two measures that can be applied to analysis and design documentation in order to provide early estimations. We also describe the empirical analysis which has been carried out to verify the usefulness of the approach for predicting Web application development effort.
