title = "Measurement of functional size in conceptual models: A survey of measurement procedures based on COSMIC",
abstract = "Many functional size measurement procedures have been developed for applying the COSMIC measurement method to particular methods of software production. A subset of these measurement procedures is centered on the measurement of the functional size of the applications from their conceptual models, allowing the generation of indicators in early stages of the development cycle of a software product. This paper presents a survey of these functional size measurement procedures in order to provide a guide for practitioners and researchers. Finally, a general analysis focused on the results obtained in the survey is performed to obtain important lessons that must be considered in the development of correct measurement procedures.",
