Function Point (FP) - Example - Software Specification & Measurement

Q.  To compute Function Point (FP) which of the following relationship is used? Where Fi = complexity adjustment values.

- Published on 23 Jul 15

a. FP = count total *[0.01 *S(Fi)]
b. FP = count total *[0.65 + 0.01 *S(Fi)]
c. FP = count total *[0.65]
d. None of the above.

ANSWER: FP = count total *[0.65 + 0.01 *S(Fi)]

    - Number of external interface files (EIFs)

    - Each external interface file is a logical grouping of data that resides external to the application but provides data that may be of
    use to the application.

    - Organizations that use function point methods can develop criteria for determining whether a particular entry is simple, average, or complex.

    - Nonetheless, the determination of complexity is somewhat subjective.

    - To compute function points (FP), the following relationship is used:

    FP = count total x [0.65 + 0.01 x S (Fi)]

    - Where count total is the sum of all FP entries.

    - The Fi (i = 1 to 14) are value adjustment factors(VAF).

    - The 0.65 and 0.01 are empirically derived constants.
