Software Sizing → Software sizing –

It's a generic process! Per WP:CAPS ("Wikipedia avoids unnecessary capitalization") and WP:TITLE, this is a generic, common term, not a propriety or commercial term, so the article title should be downcased. Lowercase will match the formatting of related article titles. Tony (talk) 06:16, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

Products section

I see that SEER and Price are listed in the see also section. These are estimation tools that take Software size as input, they are not sizing tools, so I wonder why they are listed. Now my product ScopeMaster takes requirements as an input and generates ISO functional software size, so I would propose that it should be listed. ScopeMaster is my tool - COI so could someone kindly add this to the page...

I'd like to propose a short section entitled: Tools that automate software sizing

1. Cast Software, automatically measures IFPUG FP from code.
2. ScopeMaster, automatically measures COSMIC FP from requirements text (and IFPUG estimates).<<spamlink redacted>> -BTW I declare conflict of interest - this is my company.
3. Capers Jones, Software Risk Manager that estimates FP analogous projects.

. I know of only 3 products, are there others? Colinrhammond (talk) 22:16, 27 April 2019 (UTC)

I object, particularly since this is another attempt from you to list your own software on Wikipedia. - MrOllie (talk) 17:56, 2 June 2019 (UTC)

Apart from self promotion, do you have any other reason to object. Like is it unfitting for this content to be on Wikipedia? Colinrhammond (talk) 13:38, 18 March 2022 (UTC)

Yes, advertising is not fitting for Wikipedia. We're not a product catalog or directory. MrOllie (talk) 13:48, 18 March 2022 (UTC)
