Our 90 minute program includes the following speakers:
- Anandi Hira from Tecolote Research Inc. who specializes in cost estimation methods for software development programs will present Get the Point. What’s the Deal with Different Function Points Methodologies.
- Abstract: Since the development of IFPUG Function Points (FPs), many variants have emerged to simplify software sizing and improve cost estimation. Which of these sizing techniques should one use? To understand differences among methods, we compare IFPUG FPs, COSMIC FPs, and Simple FPs for effort estimation on University of Southern California (USC)’s dataset of Unified Code Count (UCC) enhancements. Additionally, we investigate automated tools to understand the correlation between Objective FPs and the other FPs methods.
- Brian Bothwell from the Government Accountability Office, which supports assessments of cost estimating, scheduling, EVM, AOAs, and technology readiness, will present GAO Best Practice Guides.
- Abstract: This presentation will cover GAO’s responsibilities, introduce the best practice guides GAO uses and briefly describe their development, and discuss how the guides’ criteria are used in audits through the presentation of 2 or 3 case studies.
