What Is A Function Point

Albrecht Function Point Analysis measures software functionality from the user's perspective based on what inputs they provide and outputs they receive. It is a standard method for measuring software development based on user needs. The components of Function Point Analysis include external inputs, outputs, queries, external log files, and internal log files, which represent the different types of data flows and files involved in software functionality.

Albrecht Function Point Analysis

It measures the functionality from the


user’s point of view, that is, on the
basis of what the user requests and
receives in return. Function point
analysis is a standard method for
measuring software development
from the user's point of view.
Components of Function Point Analysis

• EI − The number of external inputs. These are


elementary processes in which derived data
passes across the boundary from outside to
inside. In an example library database system,
enter an existing users library card number.
• EO − The number of external output. These are
elementary processes in which derived data
passes across the boundary from inside to
outside. In an example library database system,
display a list of books checked out to a user.
• EQ − The number of external queries. These
are elementary processes with both input and
output components that result in data
retrieval from one or more internal logical files
In an example of library database system,
determine what books are currently checked
out to a user.
• ELF − The number of external log files. These are
user identifiable groups of logically related data
that are used for reference purposes only, and
which reside entirely outside the system.
• ILF − The number of internal log files. These are
user identifiable groups of logically related data
that resides entirely within the applications
boundary that are maintained through external
inputs. In an example library database system,
the file of books in the library.
