242 ◾ COSMIC Function Points: Theory and Advanced Practices

e number of points for the two BCM COSMIC models for new develop-
ments were low, but the coecients of determination are correct, and these two
models have been very helpful for us to realize predictions during a request for quo-
tation (RFQ) with suppliers for a new BCM development (Figures4.6 and 4.7).
An important point will be to complete the reference COSMIC models with
new data when available.
