DSI ==>
Delivered Source Instruction
<programming, unit> (DSI) One line of source code (LOC) developed by a
project.
DSI is the primary input to many tools for estimating software cost. The term
"delivered" is generally meant to exclude non-delivered support software such as
test drivers. However, if these are developed with the same care as delivered
software, with their own reviews, test plans, documentation, etc., then they
should be counted. The "source instructions" include all program instructions
created by project personnel and processed into machine code by some combination
of preprocessors, compilers, and assemblers. It excludes comments and unmodified
utility software. It includes job control language, format statements, and data
declarations.
