Study of function point analysis methods for software size estimation and application to a case study
Abstract
ABSTRACT
Measuring functional size for new developments, enhancement projects and existing
applications require different approaches and pose different challenges. In our report we
have concentrated mostly on the application to new developments. Out of the numerous
techniques available for software size estimation, we studied the function point analysis
methods currently used for software size estimation and selected three methods for our
analysis. The methods used were Mark II UFPUG94, IFPUG v 4.0 and a Component
Based Method(CBO) proposed by Verne and Tate. We applied these methods to a
sample ease study on a Hotel MIS Application and estimated the size of the required
software system. We have also analyzed and compared the results obtained from these
different methods.
