This example illustrate Development Project Count . During a development project you create a new application system.
A Development Project Count can contain Elementar Processes with the Process Type conversion . If you create an Application Count from Development Project Count , the new Application Count does not contain the Elementar Processes with the Process Type conversion .
The development project function point is used for the new development projects. The development project function point calculation consists of three components of functionality:
Application functionality included in the user requirements for the project.
Conversion functionality included in the user requirements for the project .
Application value adjustment factor.
Function Point Formula:
Use the following formula to calculate the development project function point count.
DFP = (UFP + CFP) * VAF
Where:
DFP is the development project function point count
UFP is the unadjusted function point count for the functions that will be available after installation
CFP is the unadjusted function points added by the conversion unadjusted function point count
VAF is the value adjustment factor
Note: After software installation, the Application Count is calculated using components of the Development Project Count .
Refer to IFPUG document Function Point Counting Practices Manual for additional information about the function point analysis, or see at: IFPUG for additional information.
