If what you are looking for is the old "Lines of Code" (LOC) measure used in the COCOMO Model and others, then I have always equated an Action Request System (ARS) object (Active Links, Active Link Guides, Filters, Filter Guides, Menus and Escalations - Not Forms) to 50 lines of code. I believe this is pretty close to the actual "C" which is generated.
I don't count forms because this is like a DB Schema definition and not really code. However, if you want to include Forms, 100 lines of code per Form would probably be in the ballpark. Size of a project has always been a difficult estimation. If you just looking for a relative size to something else, I think lines of code would be the easiest with these simple units. Using my measures above. ITSM would be: Approximate Forms: 3000 -> 300,000 LOC Approximate Objects: 73,000 -> 3,650,000 LOC So ITSM is approximately 4 Million LOC which I believe is a Large Project in most models.
