Early and quick function points analysis: Evaluations and proposals
Journal of Systems and Software, 2021Abstract Measuring Function Points following the standard process is sometimes long and expensive. To solve this problem, several early estimation methods have been proposed. Among these, the “NESMA Estimated” method is one of the most widely used; it has also been selected by the International Function Point User Group as the official early function

Fuzzy Modeling for Function Points Analysis
Software Quality Journal, 2003Function Point Analysis (FPA) is a largely used technique to estimate the size of development project, enhancement project or applications already installed. During the point counting process that represents the dimension of a project or an application, each function is classified according to its relative functional complexity.

Software benchmarks using function point analysis
Benchmarking: An International Journal, 1999The alternative to using source lines of code (SLOC) for costing software projects is to use function points. Functional point analysis (FPA), which was first introduced in 1979, has now been widely accepted as the industry standard for estimating software size and costs. International standard bodies like the International Function Point Users’ Group (

Functional Principal Points and Functional Cluster Analysis
2008In this chapter, we deal with functional principal points and functional cluster analysis. The k principal points [4] are defined as the set of k points which minimizes the sum of expected squared distances from every points in the distribution to the nearest points of the set, and are mathematically equivalent to centers of gravity by k-means ...

Software Superiority Achievement through Functional Point and Test Point Analysis
International Journal of Software Engineering and Its Applications, 2016Software cost estimation is the important activity while the development of the software. Expenditure assessment is bit complex task as it can be affected by many factors. This factors aids in the calculating of maintenance cost of software. In this paper we have implemented the function point analysis and test point analysis in order to discover the ...

Function point analysis: difficulties and improvements
IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering, 1988The method of function point analysis was developed by A. J. Albrecht (1979) to help measure the size of a computerized business information system. Such sizes are needed as a component of the measurement of productivity in system development and maintenance activities, and as a component of estimating the effort needed for such activities.

Point Spread Function Analysis
2000In the classic optical imaging theory of a lens [3.1, 3.2], discussions on imaging performance of a lens are usually limited to thin objects because conventional optical microscopy provides a two-dimensional (2-D) image of a thin sample. However, confocal microscopy exhibits an optical sectioning property [3.3] which allows one to perform three ...

Measuring Functionality in different IoT applications using Function Point Analysis.
2023For estimating cost and effort of any software product, measuring functionality of that application is an essential aspect for deciding its value. However, IoT applications are not completely equivalent to software solutions due to the inherent requirement of hardware components.

Technology dependence in function point analysis
Proceedings of the 11th international conference on Software engineering - ICSE '89, 1989Because Function Point Analysis (FPA) has now been in use for a decade, and in spite of its increasing popularity has met with some recent criticisms, it is time to review how appropriate it still is for today's technologies. A critical review of the FPA approach examines in particular the pioneering and continuing work of Albrecht and more recent work

Mapping the OO-Jacobson approach into function point analysis
Proceedings of TOOLS USA 97. International Conference on Technology of Object Oriented Systems and Languages, 1997Function point analysis measures user requested functionality independent of the technology used for implementation. Software applications are represented in an abstract model that contains the items that contribute to the functional size. When function point analysis is applied to object-oriented software, the concepts of the development method have ...
