Abstract

© 2020 Copyright for this paper by its authors.Enterprise Applications are known as one of the best practices of software reuse. They are complex applications, including most of the business processes. In this domain, size measurements and effort predictions are mostly performed in an ad-hoc fashion, and they frequently suffer from schedule and budget overruns. We developed a size measurement method for Enterprise Applications and explained this novel method in this paper. We categorized transactions as “unchanged”, “changed”, and “new” in this method. We defined a size measurement unit, Data Transaction Point (DTP), and measured size as DTP in these categories. We conducted a sample size measurement with a well-known business process to demonstrate the implementation of the method.
