Brannock Device shoe sizes of men, women, and children; they also produce specialized models for fitting other types of footwear. 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
Software sizing are COSMIC Function Points, Mk II Function Points, Nesma Function Points, and FiSMA Function Points. Other variants of these standards include Object Oriented Function Points (OOFP) and newer variants as Weighted Micro Function Points, which factor algorithmic and control flow complexity. The Consortium for IT Software Quality has a published Software Sizing standard through OMG. For more information about the similarities and differences between the ISO FSM methods see IFPUG and COSMIC - Similarities and Differences. The best Functional Sizing Method depends on a number of factors, including the functional domain of the applications, the process maturity of the developing
