Synopsis

Discover how reliable function point counting can support software project estimates. This nonfiction work investigates how well function points measure software size when different raters count them, and what that means for practicing managers and researchers.

The book explains why measuring function points might improve how organizations plan and control software development and maintenance. It highlights why reliability matters for using these metrics in real projects, and what the findings imply for choosing counting methods and training raters.


  • How function points are calculated, including inputs, outputs, files, and inquiries.

  • How different counting methods perform in terms of consistency across raters.

  • What statistics say about reliability and practical impact on estimates.

  • What to consider when selecting source materials and training for FP counting.



Ideal for readers of software measurement, project management, and researchers evaluating measurement tools in software engineering.
