1.4.3 Applying Systems Engineering Modeling Language (SysML) to System Effort Estimation Utilizing Use Case Points
Mary Alice Bone, Robert J. Cloutier · INCOSE International Symposium · 2011
Abstract This paper proposes that as model based systems engineering begins to play a larger role in system development it may be utilized in estimating systems effort, making model based systems engineering more valuable to system engineering. This paper proposes to extend the Use Case Points (UCP) estimating approach, used by some software engineers, to SysML for estimating the systems engineering effort. The paper reviews literature that encourages the notion of a UCP method for Systems Engineering (UCPSE). Finally the paper maps out the research plan to develop and validate the UCPSE method.
