Brannock Device Brannock Device The Brannock Device is a measuring instrument invented by Charles F. Brannock for measuring a person's shoe size. The son of a shoe industry entrepreneur, Brannock attended Syracuse University, New York. Brannock spent two years developing a simple means of measuring the length, width, and arch length of the human foot. He eventually improved on the wooden RITZ Stick, the industry standard of the day, patenting his first prototype in 1925 and an improved version in 1927. The device has both left and right heel cups and is rotated through 180 degrees to measure the second foot. Brannock
Software sizing 30 FPs (Function Points) without identifying the project effort required to produce it. Historically, the most common software sizing methodology has been counting the lines of code written in the application source. Another approach is to do Functional Size Measurement to express the functionality in a number, representing the size. The most well-known sizing method is the IFPUG method called Function point analysis. The IFPUG FPA functional sizing method (FSM) has been used successfully — despite being less accurate in estimating complex algorithms and being relatively more difficult to use than estimating lines of code.
