Reliability of Function Points Measurement (Classic Reprint): A Field Experiment: A Field Experiment (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Discover how reliable function point counting can support software project estimates. This nonfiction work investigates how well function points measure software size when different raters count them, and what that means for practicing managers and researchers.
The book explains why measuring function points might improve how organizations plan and control software development and maintenance. It highlights why reliability matters for using these metrics in real projects, and what the findings imply for choosing counting methods and training raters.
- How function points are calculated, including inputs, outputs, files, and inquiries.
- How different counting methods perform in terms of consistency across raters.
- What statistics say about reliability and practical impact on estimates.
- What to consider when selecting source materials and training for FP counting.
Ideal for readers of software measurement, project management, and researchers evaluating measurement tools in software engineering.

Reliability of Function Points Measurement: A Field Experiment
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the reliability of function points, a metric used in the planning and control of software development. Previous research on the topic has been scarce and produced conflicting results. The author conducted a large-scale field experiment involving measurements of 100 medium-sized software applications to reach statistically significant conclusions. The results showed that the FP counts from pairs of raters using the standard method differed on average by 15% and that the correlation across the two methods tested was as high as .95 for the data in this sample. These results suggest that FPs are much more reliable than previously suspected and should encourage wider acceptance and adoption of FPs as a software metric. The author emphasizes the significance of this book's findings on the field of software engineering management, as it provides crucial data on the validity of a widely used metric. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
