Information technology -- Software measurement -- Functional size measurement -- Part 2: Conformity evaluation of software size measurement methods to ISO/IEC 14143-1

ISO/IEC 14143-2:2011:

establishes a framework for the conformity evaluation of a Candidate FSM Method against the provisions of ISO/IEC 14143-1;
describes a process for conformity evaluation of whether a Candidate FSM Method meets the (type) requirements of ISO/IEC 14143-1 such that it is an actual FSM method, i.e. they are of the same type;
describes the requirements for performing a conformity evaluation in order to ensure repeatability of the conformity evaluation process, as well as consistency of decisions on conformity and the final result;
aims to ensure that the output from the conformity evaluation process is objective, impartial, consistent, repeatable, complete and auditable;
provides informative guidelines for determining the competence of the conformity evaluation teams;
provides an example checklist to assist in the conformity evaluation of a Candidate FSM Method; and
provides an example template for the conformity evaluation report.
