1) carry out a benchmarking
study to compare Use Case Points with the technique
Function Point Analysis in order to identify the advantages
and disadvantages of each technique, 2) ) to improve the
add-in to generate XML files according to different
schedule tools available, for instance, GanttProject could be
used.
As final considerations, in accordance with the authors’
experience, the use of functional sizing metric in
development projects is still difficult due to the amount of
data for tracking, lack of integration between processes and
techniques, and difficulty of understanding and use of the
processes, techniques and tools. These difficulties must be
added to the usually existing problems, as those originating
from requirements analysis, configuration and change
management, implementation and tests. So we hope that our
proposal can be used in an effective manner to help to
accomplish successful software projects.
