Detailed explanation-1: -Function point counting is a measurement concept that was originated in 1979 by Allan Albrecht of IBM.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Function Point measure originally conceived by Albrecht received increased popularity with the inception of the International Function Point Users Group (IFPUG) in 1986. In 2002, IFPUG Function Points became an international ISO standard – ISO/IEC 20926.
Detailed explanation-3: -Albrecht Function Point Analysis (FPA) is a method of software sizing that is based on counts of the number of functions and their complexity. It is used by software engineers to measure the size and complexity of a software system.
Detailed explanation-4: -1.4 Albrecht/IFPUG Function Point Analysis Allan Albrecht developed the original Function Point Analysis method.
Detailed explanation-5: -The function point is a “unit of measurement” to express the amount of business functionality an information system (as a product) provides to a user. Function points are used to compute a functional size measurement (FSM) of software. The cost (in dollars or hours) of a single unit is calculated from past projects.
