This blog focuses on explaining the Function Point calculations.
  • Software Sizing Background
  • Function Point
  • Rules for Counting FP
  • Deep Dive - Function Point Analysis
  • Case Study
  • General Software Characteristics Details

History - Measurement Methodologies
  • Lines of Code (Oldest)
  • Use case based Software Sizing
  • IPFUG Function Point Analysis (ISO)

Need for Software Sizing.
  1. Estimation and Budgeting
  2. Phasing Development Work
  3. Prioritization of Work
  4. Monitoring the Progress
  5. Bidding for Projects
  6. Allocating Testing Resources
  7. To measure and Manage Productivity
  8. Risk Assessment
  9. Software Asset Valuation
  10. CMMi Level 2 and 3 require that a valid sizing method be used.


Software Sizing - Lines of Code

The easiest and historically the most common method in Sizing Software project has been counting the number of lines of code and / or the number of screens.

Advantages
Automation of the counting process can be done
Intuitive as the measurements are easily understood

Disadvantages
Lines of Code is language and the skill set of the developer
The coding phase is only around 30-35% of the actual software development.
Lack of counting standards (What about comments, notes etc.?)

Redis Installation Steps

By Anonymous
“ Redis is an in-memory key-value store known for its flexibility, performance, and wide language support” Inorder to install redis on your machine you need ubuntu 16.4 and a non-root user with sudo privileges to perform the administrative functions required for this process. Download and Extract the Source Code Create a tmp directory cd /tmp Download the latest stable version of Redis curl -O http://download.redis.io/redis-stable.tar.gz untar tar xzvf redis-stable.tar.gz Move into the Redis source directory structure that was just extracted cd redis-stable Build and Install Redis Now, we can compile the Redis binaries by typing make After the binaries are compiled, run the test suite to make sure everything was built correctly. You can do this by typing: make test This will typically take a few minutes to run. Once it is complete, you can install the binaries onto the system by typing: sudo

Redis Basic CRUD

By Anonymous
We have seen how to setup on your linux machine here , now we will see how to perform basic CRUD operations using Spring Data & Redis server We will be creating a simple application that would persist an employee information into redis database. You will be needing certain JARs like jedis.jar, spring-data-redis.jar etc details of which you can download and view at https://github.com/meta-magic/RedisCRUDexample.git  First of all we will be creating the Employee entity, plz note that we are using the Serializable interface which automatically mapps the objects against the key. Employee.java import java.io.Serializable ; public class Employee implements Serializable { private static final long serialVersionUID = - 8243145429438016231L ; public enum Gender { Male , Female } private String id; private String name; private Gender gender; private int age; public String getId () { return id; } public void setId ( String
