A metric method for object-oriented systems based on MarkII method

MarkII method is a function point method. It is primarily based on Reporting Requirements, but the MarkII method exists measuring problems: less data and poor accuracy. After analyzing the MarkII method and semantics of the main components of UML model, a method which applies MarkII method to measure the scale of the object-oriented system is proposed by establishing correspondence relationship and mapping rules between them. To verify the feasibility of this method, we design and develop a measure tool. Experimental results show that the proposed method can effectively measure the scale of the object-oriented system, and achieve significantly improved accuracy and automation.
