COSMIC (the Common Software Measurement International Consortium) is a not-for-profit grouping of software metrics experts from around the world. It was formed in 1998 with the aims to ‘develop, test, bring to market and seek acceptance of new software sizing methods to support estimation and performance measurement’. These aims have been achieved including the publication of an ISO/IEC standard (19761:2003). Documentation is freely available from www.gelog.etsmtl.ca/cosmic-ffp.
