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.

3.1 Project Costing
Function-oriented software matrices use a measure of the functionality delivered by the application as a normalization value. Since “Functionality cannot be measures directly,it must be derived indirectly using other direct measures”. Albrecht, who suggested a measure called the function point, first proposed function-oriented metrics. Function point are derived using an empirical relationship based on countable (direct) measure of software’s information domain and assessment of software complexity. We have chosen Function Point Analysis for our Project Cost Estimation. 1. Number of external inputs: 5 2. Number of external outputs: 4 3. Number of external inquiries: 4 4.

Calculation of Function Point (FP):
𝐅𝐏𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 = Count Total * (0.65 + 0.01 * (Fi)) = 136* (0.65 + 0.01 * 35) = 136* 1 =136 Final Function Point Calculation is: Final Adjusted FP = UFC*VAF =136*136 =18,496
Cost per Function Point:
Labor Rate =Rs. 42,000
Cost per FP =Labor Rate / Productivity parameter = 42,000 / 10 = 4200 Total Project cost: Total Project Cost = FPestimated * Cost Per FP
