Aiming at the existing problem of strong subjectivity and weak repeatability in software estimation by introducing Unified Modeling Language(UML) into software estimation,this paper analyses the semantics of UML artifacts(use case diagram,class diagram and sequence diagram) and primary elements of COSMIC-FFP(functional user,layer,boundary,data group and functional process) and establishes the mapping from UML artifacts to COSMIC-FFP elements.As a result,15 mapping rules are proposed.This paper proposes a UML-based measurement processof COSMIC-FFP and presents an example for that.Experimental result shows that it is effective and objective to the software estimation.
