\section{Internal product attributes} |
| 17 |
\subsection{Explain how the three aspects of the software size (Length, |
| 18 |
Functionality and Complexity) are supplementing each other to describe |
| 19 |
the notion of software size.} |
| 20 |
%length = is a physical size of the product |
| 21 |
%functionality = counts the functions supplied by the product |
| 22 |
%complexity = measures the complexity od underlying problem, or a solution |
| 23 |
%utan att ha en aning om hur notationen ser ut drar jag till med följande |
| 24 |
These three supplements each other adding references to |
| 25 |
each other. None of these is useful by itself, but by |
| 26 |
adding them up one can get a better perspective of the |
| 27 |
size of the software. |
| 28 |
\subsection{Give an example where code length measure can be useful and an |
| 29 |
example where source code length measure is not useful.} |
| 30 |
svar |
| 31 |
\subsection{Explain what are the main ideas behind Albrecht's Function Points. |
| 32 |
Discuss advantages and disadvantages of the measure. Motivate.} |
| 33 |
svar |
| 34 |
\subsection{Describe structural measures presented by Fenton. (Control flow |
| 35 |
structure, Data flow structure, Data structure). Give an example |
| 36 |
where you explain how one could use the structural measures |
| 37 |
(specify which structural measure) to ensure the quality of the |
| 38 |
software product.} |

\subsection{Draw the flow graph for the program, which |
| 41 |

\subsection{Assume that you are |
| 100 |
working at the company that mainly specializes on developing of |
| 101 |
web-based applications. Your manager gives you an assignment to |
| 102 |
develop a software quality model for the company. The model should |
| 103 |
show external quality attributes, corresponding internal |

attributes and metrics. Present the assumptions that you will use |
| 105 |
while creating of the quality model. Provide an explanatory text |
