Software sizing organization and the extent of use of the FSM Method. There are many uses and benefits of function points beyond measuring project productivity and estimating planned projects, these include monitoring project progress and evaluating the requirements coverage of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) packages. Other software sizing methods include Use Case-based software sizing, which relies on counting the number and characteristics of use cases found in a piece of software, and COSMIC software sizing, which addresses sizing software that has a very limited amount of stored data such as 'process control' and 'real time' systems. Both the IFPUG Method and the COSMIC
