Modern Metrics (MM): Software size estimation using function points for artificial intelligence and data analytics applications and finding the effort modifiers of the functional units using indian software industry

Abstract

SPM, Software Project Management is an engineering process for scheduling, developing, testing, and maintaining a software system. The size of a software is one of the important attributes in determining all the activities of SPM. Price, time, and effort are the basic factors for developing software in a successful and profitable manner. The fast explosions in technological development of software systems attracted all the fields that existed in the universe. The modern software system uses many programming languages, domains, operating systems, technologies, development cycles, topologies, etc. So, the industry is expecting a new, versatile, and highly updated sizing technique for modern software. Modern Metrics (MM) is a new anticipated size estimation technique for present software systems with updated functional values and metrics using Function Point (FP). This article analyzed the functional unit metric values (effort modifiers) of the MM with real world applications. MM is a novel method for determining the solution to the SPM challenges.
