SOFTWARE ENGINEERING

Detailed explanation-1: -The complexity adjustment factor (CAF) is based on 14 general system characteristics (GSC’s) that rate the general functionality of the application being counted. Each characteristic has associated descriptions that help determine the degrees of influence of the characteristics.

Detailed explanation-2: -Total complexity adjustment value is counted based on responses to questions called complexity weighting factors in the table below. Each complexity weighting factor is assigned a value (complexity adjustment value) that ranges between 0 (not important) to 5 (absolutely essential).

Detailed explanation-3: -Function Point Analysis can be used for several purposes: estimation of software projects, unit of contracts measurement, support for quality and productivity control, benchmarking and metrics program.

Detailed explanation-4: -Based on the number of DETs and RETs, all the five components of FPA are classified into High, Average and Low complexity based on the below table.
