COSMIC & UML Goals

• Support for big and large projects where requirements are modelled in UML

• Usage of pure UML specification

• Minimization of extra work related to measurement

• Automation of COSMIC measurement: for new software and for software enhancements

COSMIC & UML Assumptions

COSMIC specification helps to define the level of details for model requirements where:

– Use case is a functional process

– Data class is a data group

6

COSMIC & UML Assumptions

A Use Case scenario is modelled as an activity diagram where:

– any action can be related to one or more data movements;

– data movement in action is related to the data class in data model;

– any action can be restricted by means of a system rule which is a data manipulation
