Project Menu

TheProject Menu, which is displayed when you select Project from theMenu Bar, allows you to prepare size and time estimates for projects.

The functions available from the Project Menuare:

Menu Selection	Shortcut Keys	Description
Import FP Model	F	Retrieves a stand-alone Function Point Model into the current Project
Import COCOMO Model	C	Retrieves a stand-alone COCOMO Model into the current Project
Import Rayleigh Model	R	Retrieves a stand-alone Rayleigh Model into the current Project
Export FP Model	P	Saves a stand-alone copy of the Function Point Model of the current Project
Export COCOMO Model	O	Saves a stand-alone copy of the COCOMO Model of the current Project
Export Rayleigh Model	A	Saves a stand-alone copy of the Rayleigh Model of the current Project
Description	D	Displays the Description Dialog Box to allow you to enter or modify the Project description information
Use FP Sensitivity Analysis Data	U	Use the Function Point sensitivity adjustments in the Project's Sensitivity Analysis
Use COCOMO Sensitivity Analysis Data	S	Use the COCOMO sensitivity adjustments in the Project's Sensitivity Analysis
Use Rayleigh Sensitivity Analysis Data	E	Use the Rayleigh sensitivity adjustments in the Project's Sensitivity Analysis
Initialize	I	Resets all Project values, including descriptions to default values

Import fp Model

You may import an existing Function Point Model into a Project by selecting Import FP Model from the Project Menu. The Import FP Model is displayed to allow you to select the Function Point Model you wish to import. The source lines of code from the selected Function Point Model will be used as input to the Project's COCOMO Model.

Import COCOMO Model

You may import an existing COCOMO Model into a Project by selecting Import COCOMO Model from theProject Menu. The Import COCOMO Model is displayed to allow you to select the COCOMO Model you wish to import. The COCOMO Model will be recalculated based on the source lines of code from the Project's Function Point Model.

Import Rayleigh Model

You may import an existing Rayleigh Model into a Project by selecting Import Rayleigh Model from theProject Menu. The Open Dialog Box is displayed to allow you to select the Rayleigh Model you wish to import. The Rayleigh Model will be recalculated based on the source lines of code from the Project's Function Point Model.

Export FP Model

You may save a Project's Function Point Model as a stand-alone Function Point Model by selecting Export FP Model from theProject Menu. The Export FP Model is displayed to allow you to specify afile namefor your exported Function Point Model.

Export COCOMO Model

You may save a Project's COCOMO Model as a stand-alone COCOMO Model by selecting Export COCOMO Model from theProject Menu. The Export COCOMO Model is displayed to allow you to specify afile namefor your exported COCOMO Model.

Export Rayleigh Model

Your may save a Project's Rayleigh Model as a stand-alone Rayleigh Model by selecting Export Rayleigh Model from theProject Menu. The Export Rayleigh Model is displayed to allow you to specify afile namefor your exported Rayleigh Model.

Description Dialog Box

The Description Dialog Boxis displayed immediately after you select the type of new component you wish to create. It is also displayed when you selectDescriptionfrom the Project, Function Point, COCOMO,Rayleigh, or System Menu.

Tip: You can use the Enter key to enter a carriage return in the Description text

You may view the current Model or Project description and enter new or revised information in the fields of the dialog box. The information you may enter includes:

Title	The name of the projectbeing modeled
Prepared By	Your name
Description	Any descriptive textyou wish to enter (this field scrolls to permit entry of a description with a maximum of 500 characters)

If you exit this box by selecting the Cancelbutton, the dialog box will be removed, returning you to theSummary Information Window and any changes made to the description information will be disregarded. If you select theOKbutton, any changes made in theDescription Dialog Boxare saved and you will be returned to theSummary Information Window.
