In this study, we reviewed the definition of completeness and payment in SW appraisal along to being complicated requirements of the appraisal, and we also presented their meaning and computation method. The completeness in SW appraisals means the degree of functional completion of the final product, and the payment refers cost spent to develop the product. Therefore, the completeness is evaluated based on the functions or interfaces of the final product, while the payment is calculated on the outputs or expenses of development steps. Recently, SW appraisal is complicated and the requirements for completeness and payment are changing. In this paper, we review the meanings and objectives of completeness and payment and present the evaluation methods for those.
