What is it about?
The article discusses a new method to measure the size of software using UML models, which are standard in the industry for designing software. This method automates the measurement process using a tool called J-UML COSMIC. It allows for quick and accurate software size estimation, which helps in planning and managing software development projects.

Why is it important?
The approach is timely and unique as it leverages UML models, which are widely used in the industry, to provide an automated and efficient way to measure software size. This can lead to more accurate project estimates and improved management of software development processes. The method's adaptability to different UML artifacts and levels of detail makes it versatile and practical for various software projects.
Perspectives
This work is significant because it simplifies a traditionally complex and time-consuming process. By automating the measurement of software size, project managers can make more informed decisions early in the development cycle, leading to better resource allocation and project planning. It also reduces the dependency on specialized expertise, making it more accessible to a wider range of users.
