Known Users of the COSMIC Method
This section lists the names of some major organizations who have become users of the COSMIC method of measuring a functional size of software.
The list has been compiled from names of organizations that have acknowledged their use in some way e.g. by publishing experience or research findings, or from which several individuals have passed the COSMIC Entry-level certification exam, information that is in the public domain.
Major suppliers of estimating tools that accept COSMIC-measured sizes as input have their own users and we have no knowledge of those organizations.
This list of users is very far from complete and contains only a small sample from each country.
If you have additions to this list, send them to the webmaster.
