Abstract

In software development, estimation of software size is one of the major activities. Various types of metrics are available for computation of software size. It is necessary to check the performance of each metric. Lines of code, objects and function point analysis are widely used for measurements of software size, cost and schedule of development. The Function Point (FP) Analysis is one of the most promising techniques for measuring the functionality delivered by a system. Mostly, this method is used with traditional software development practices but can also be applied for object-oriented software development. The present paper deals with judging of the performance of function point analysis for the object-oriented software systems by the use of well know Unified Modeling Language (UML). A case study of Web-based Document Management System is reported for FP analysis through UML class diagram.
