This paper describes a laboratory experiment which
evaluates OO-Method Function Points for the Web.
OOmFPWeb measures the functional size of Web
applications using conceptual models that are developed
with Object-Oriented Web Solutions (OOWS), an
automated software production method for Web
applications. OOmFPWeb is evaluated on a range of
performance-based and perception-based variables,
including efficiency, reproducibility, perceived ease of
use, perceived usefulness and intention to use. The results
show that OOmFPWeb is efficient when compared to
current industry practices. Furthermore, the method
produces consistent functional size assessments and is
perceived to be easy to use and useful by its users.
