Accurate estimation of Software Code Size isimportant for developing cost-efficient embedded systems. TheCode Size affects the amount of system resources needed, likeROM and RAM memory, and processing capacity. In ourprevious work, we have estimated the Code Size based on CFP (COSMIC Function Points) within 15% accuracy, with thepurpose of deciding how much ROM memory to fit intoproducts with high cost pressure. Central in that work is themapping between CFP and the information available early inthe development process. We have previously defined a UMLProfile capturing the information needed for CFPmeasurement and estimation of Code Size. The key idea was toextend UML components to contain all the necessaryinformation. In this paper, we show how we developed a toolfor automated estimation of Code Size based on our UMLProfile. The tool is designed to permit Code Size estimationbased on other UML diagrams than components. A case studyevaluates the UML Profile and the tool in a realistic case.
