    Size - Oriented Metrics
    - These metrics are derived by normalizing quality and/or productivity measures by considering the size of the software that has been produced.

    - If a software organization maintains simple records, a table of size oriented measures.

    - Size oriented metrics are widely used, but debate about their validity and applicability continues.

    - To develop metrics that can be assimilated with similar metrics from other projects, we choose Lines of Code as a normalization value.

    - Size oriented metrics are not universally accepted as the best way to measure the software process.

    - Proponents of the LOC measure claim that LOC is an artifact of all software development projects that can be easily counted, many existing software estimation models use LOC or KLOC as a key input and it has a large body of literature and data predicted on LOC already exists.

    Function - Oriented Metrics
    - It is used to measure the functionality delivered by the application as a normalization value.

    - The most widely used function oriented metric is function point (FP).

    - Computation of the function point is based on characteristics of the software information domain and complexity.
