Improve how you measure software size and performance with a careful, data-driven look at Function Point counting. This book analyzes why FP counts can vary and how to tighten counting practices to make metrics more reliable. It presents findings from a two‑phase study that combines surveys and three detailed case studies to identify the main sources of counting variation and their real impact on results.
Readers will see concrete examples of how backup handling, menu structures, and external files influence FP counts, along with practical recommendations for standard counting practices. The work discusses reliability concerns in management and how better measurement supports budgeting, scheduling, and productivity evaluations.
Ideal for readers of software metrics, project management, and IT measurement who want practical guidance grounded in empirical study.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the concept of function points (FPs), a user-centric, non-code-based metric for quantifying the size and complexity of information systems. It explores the challenges of FP measurement reliability, identifying the primary sources of variation in counting practices. The author examines the evolution of FPs, highlighting their growing acceptance and adoption in the industry. By analyzing detailed case studies, the book quantifies the impact of different counting interpretations on the overall FP count, shedding light on the potential pitfalls and areas for improvement. The research presented in this book provides valuable insights for organizations seeking to enhance the reliability of their FP-based measurements. It emphasizes the need for clear and consistent counting standards, open communication, and ongoing research to address emerging issues. Ultimately, this book underscores the significance of accurate and reliable FP measurement in enabling effective planning, control, and evaluation of software development projects, contributing to improved productivity and quality in the field of information systems.
