About This Item
IEEE P2430/D2, Aug 2018 is a draft standard for software nonfunctional sizing measurement, with a focus on how to evaluate size-related characteristics that affect computing and processing work. It is relevant where software scope, effort, and delivery estimates need a repeatable basis beyond functional features alone. For engineering teams and buyers reviewing technical documents, this draft helps frame measurement in a way that supports comparison, planning, and more consistent project control.
Overview of IEEE P2430/D2, Aug 2018
This draft standard addresses the measurement of software nonfunctional sizing, a topic that sits within computing and processing but goes beyond simple feature counts. It is intended to support a more structured view of software size where qualities such as complexity, constraints, and implementation characteristics may influence effort and evaluation. IEEE P2430/D2, Aug 2018 is useful when organizations need a common reference for sizing methods that can be applied consistently across software-related work.
Typical use cases
IEEE P2430/D2, Aug 2018 is typically relevant in software estimation, bid preparation, and delivery planning for systems where nonfunctional requirements influence implementation size. It may be used when assessing enterprise applications, embedded software, or other computing and processing solutions that require careful measurement of scope. Teams may also consult the standard during review of specifications, benchmarking of sizing approaches, or internal process development for more consistent estimation and reporting.
Why it matters
Nonfunctional sizing can have a direct effect on project cost, schedule, and technical risk, so a clear measurement approach matters. IEEE P2430/D2, Aug 2018 provides a draft reference that can support more consistent comparisons between proposals, designs, and test expectations. In practice, that can help reduce ambiguity during procurement and planning, improve estimation discipline, and give stakeholders a better basis for reviewing software requirements and engineering tradeoffs.
