Information technology. Software measurement. Functional size measurement. Verification of functional size measurement methods | Status: Current

1 Scope This part of ISO/IEC 14143 establishes a framework for verifying the statements of an FSM Method and/or for conducting tests requested by the verification sponsor, relative to the following performance properties:

• — repeatability and reproducibility;
• — accuracy;
• — convertibility;
• — discrimination threshold;
• — applicability to Functional Domains.

NOTE Statements and test requests relative to other performance properties are outside the scope of this document.

It aims to ensure that the output from the verification is objective, impartial, consistent and repeatable. The verification report, produced as a result of applying this part of ISO/IEC 14143, will enable the prospective user to select the FSM Method which best meets their needs.
