The knowledge of size of models can be very useful to perform many kinds of estimations such as effort, cost, and productivity in software development. However, to the best of our knowledge there is no universally accepted model size measure available to date. In this paper we investigate the usefulness of class-count as a size measure of models (represented with the UML). Using empirical data collected from two student experiments we validate this measure by assessing its correlation with effort spent in modeling. The results show that merely using class-count might not provide sufficient and accurate estimation of modeling effort. Furthermore, we identify some factors that hinder class-count as a good estimate of modeling effort.
