Excerpt from Improving the Reliability of Function Point Measurement: An Empirical Study: October 1991
Zit is interesting to note that all of these questions deal with how to measure the five function count types, and none with the fourteen 'complexity factors'. This reflects the fact that any reliability concerns relating to the fourteen complexity factors are small, given that their potential impact on the final FP count is constrained by the mathematical formula [albrecht and Gaffney, 1983] [bock and Klepper, This is in contrast to the five function types, where the impact of a different interpretation is unconstrained, and can be potentially very large. Empirical research has also documented the result that the impact of the fourteen complexity factors is small [kemerer, requirements, a quantitative case study methodology was chosen. As described by Swanson and Beath, this approach features the collection of multiple types of data.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the concept of function points (FPs), a user-centric, non-code-based metric for quantifying the size and complexity of information systems. It explores the challenges of FP measurement reliability, identifying the primary sources of variation in counting practices. The author examines the evolution of FPs, highlighting their growing acceptance and adoption in the industry. By analyzing detailed case studies, the book quantifies the impact of different counting interpretations on the overall FP count, shedding light on the potential pitfalls and areas for improvement. The research presented in this book provides valuable insights for organizations seeking to enhance the reliability of their FP-based measurements. It emphasizes the need for clear and consistent counting standards, open communication, and ongoing research to address emerging issues. Ultimately, this book underscores the significance of accurate and reliable FP measurement in enabling effective planning, control, and evaluation of software development projects, contributing to improved productivity and quality in the field of information systems.
