Unit-2.2 Function Point Calculation

Function Point (FP) is a software development metric used to estimate development costs based on user functionality. The calculation involves determining a Complexity Adjustment Factor (CAF) and an Unadjusted Function Point (UFP) using specific function units and their corresponding values. An example illustrates the calculation process, resulting in a final FP of approximately 672.

Calculation of Function Point (FP)

Function Point (FP) is an element of software development which helps to approximate the cost of
development early in the process. It may measures functionality from user’s point of view.
Counting Function Point (FP):
Step-1:
F = 14 * scale
Scale varies from 0 to 5 according to character of Complexity Adjustment Factor (CAF).
Below table shows scale:
0 - No Influence
1 - Incidental
2 - Moderate
3 - Average
4 - Significant
5 - Essential

Step-2: Calculate Complexity Adjustment Factor (CAF).


CAF = 0.65 + ( 0.01 * F )

Step-3: Calculate Unadjusted Function Point (UFP).


TABLE (Required)
Function Units Low Avg High
EI 3 4 6
EO 4 5 7
EQ 3 4 6
ILF 7 10 15
EIF 5 7 10
Multiply each individual function point to corresponding values in TABLE.

Step-4: Calculate Function Point.


FP = UFP * CAF

Example:
Given the following values, compute function point when all complexity adjustment factor (CAF) and
weighting factors are average.
User Input = 50
User Output = 40
User Inquiries = 35
User Files = 6
External Interface = 4

Explanation:
Step-1: As complexity adjustment factor is average (given in question), hence,
scale = 3.
F = 14 * 3 = 42

Step-2:
CAF = 0.65 + ( 0.01 * 42 ) = 1.07
Step-3: As weighting factors are also average (given in question) hence we will multiply each individual
function point to corresponding values in TABLE.
UFP = (50*4) + (40*5) + (35*4) + (6*10) + (4*7) = 628

Step-4:
Function Point = 628 * 1.07 = 671.96
