their role in software development and the software
measurements program. The function point counting process is
presented and a description and examples of each of the
function point components is provided.
Key

Introduction (What is a function point)
Software Measurements & Function Points (challenges/solutions,
measurement cycle, objectives of function points)
The Function Point Analysis Process (The Five counting steps:
determine type of count, identify count scope/boundary,
determine unadjusted function points, compute value
adjustment factor)
Counting Development Project Function Points (Counting Internal
