Welcome

Welcome to the official website of the Common Software Measurement International Consortium, the 'COSMIC' organization. Here you will find all the information you need to know about the COSMIC Functional Size Measurement method, the support that is available, and the organization behind it.

COSMIC is a voluntary, world-wide grouping of software metrics experts. Started in 1998, COSMIC has developed the most advanced method of measuring a functional size of software. Such sizes are important as measures of software project work-output, for estimating project effort, for benchmarking purposes, etc.

The COSMIC method is applicable to business, real-time and infrastructure software, is easy to learn and simple to use. The method is entirely 'open'; all method documentation is available in the public domain for free download.

For more information contact your International Advisory Council member for your country.
