초록

소프트웨어의 규모측정 기법 중 하나인 유스케이스 점수(Use Case Points; UCP)는 고객 기능 요구사항에 기반하여 규모를 측정한다. 이 때 요구사항 분석자의 유스케이스 추상화 수준에 따라 유스케이스 수의 차이가 발생하고, 이는 UCP에 많은 영향을 미친다. 본 논문에서는 요구사항 분석자의 추상화 수준에 따른 유스케이스 수의 편차를 줄이기 위해 단위기능으로 분할하는 방법을 제안함으로써 측정자에 따른 UCP의 편차를 줄이고자 한다. 이 방법은 스텝, 트랜잭션, Narrative 중심으로 접근한 기존의 UCP 방법보다 측정자에 따른 UCP의 편차를 줄일 수 있어 신뢰성 있는 소프트웨어 규모측정이 가능하다.

Use The Use Case Points method is a software estimation method that is based on user requirements. When requirement analysts elicit user requirements, they obtain different use cases because different levels of detail are possible for the Use Case, and this affects the Use Case Points. In this paper, we suggest a method to refine the level of detail of the Use Case by using the concept of an elementary function. This refinement method achieves the desired reliability for the Use Case Points because it produces less of a deviation in the Use Case Points for different requirement analysts than other methods that are based on the step, transaction, and narrative of the Use Case.
