μcROSE: automated measurement of COSMIC-FFP for Rational Rose RealTime

During the last 10 years, many organizations have invested resources and energy in order to be rated at the highest level as possible according to some maturity models for software development. Since measures play an important role in these models, it is essential that CASE tools offer facilities to automatically measure the sizes of various documents produced using them. This paper introduces a tool, called μcROSE, that automatically measures the functional software size, as defined by the COSMIC-FFP method, for Rational Rose RealTime models. μcROSE streamlines the measurement process, ensuring repeatability and consistency in measurement while reducing measurement cost. It is the first tool to address automatic measurement of COSMIC-FFP and it can be integrated into the Rational Rose RealTime toolset.
