Function Point Analysis

Since a new application is to be developed for the Warehouse management we shall use
Development project function point count
Boundary of the Application

clerks have experience in warehouse data management using maual registers.
The application covers the following areas of data management:-
1. Customers data

Total unadjusted Function Points
The total unadjusted function points is 38 + 36 = 74
Value Adjustment Factor
Let us assume that the General System Characteristics are at average influence level and hence are
accounted for in the contribution by unadjusted function points.
Thus, the value adjustment factor is 1.
Adjusted Function Point
The adjusted function point count by using the IFPUG Function Point Analysis method is 74.
