Abstract
Function point analysis was developed by Albercht. In this approach, we calculate unadjusted function point by obtaining formulated parameter values for all the five parameters namely: ILF, EIF, EO, and EQ, EI based on the complexity and assign the value for each. After calculating the five parameters, the UAF value is obtained. On the other side, we calculate value adjustment factor by observing fourteen different characteristics and assigning a value to each characteristic based on its degree of influence. Finally unadjusted function point is multiplied by value adjustment factor which results in Function point analysis. The main reason in carrying out this approach as it reduces the risk of "inflation " of the created lines of code, and thus reducing the value of the measurement system, if developers are incentivized to be more productive. FP advocates refer to this as measuring the size of the solution instead of the size of the problem.
