ABSTRACT: This paper
aims to present a case study that consists in the analysis of work effort per
unit of software systems Development and Enhancement Projects (D&EP)
depending on technological factors. That analysis was commissioned by one of
the largest public institutions in Poland. This is the COSMIC (Common
Software Measurement International Consortium) function points method that is chosen by this institution as a point of reference for
size of software systems developed/enhanced for supporting its functions and
therefore this method is the base for the analysis of D&EP work effort per
unit with regard to technological factors.
