Systems

The System feature of COSMOS allows you to combine projects. Systems enable you to mix and match different project scenarios. The metrics computed by the System are total adjusted function points, total source lines of code, total adjusted effort, cumulative time to develop, total time to develop, and system manpower buildup.

Chapter 2 Understanding cosmos Basics Menu Bar

The Menu Bar contains selections for the major COSMOS functions: File, View, Project, Function Point, COCOMO, Rayleigh, Options, Window, and Help. The selections available to the user vary, depending on what you are doing in COSMOS. For example, when you elect to work on a Function Point Model, the Project, COCOMO, and Rayleigh menu items will not be available. When working on a COCOMO Model, the Project, Function Point, and Rayleigh menu items will not be available. Similarly, the Project, Function Point, and COCOMO menu items will not be available when you work on a Rayleigh model. Only when you have elected to work on a Project will all menu choices be available.

The following figure shows the Menu Barwhen the Project and all Models are available:
