Object Oriented Design Function Points

Estimating different characteristics viz., size, cost, etc. of sofrware during different phases of software development is required to manage the resources effectively. Function points measure can be used as an input to estimate these characteristicsof software. The Traditional Function Point Counting Procedure (TFPCP) can not be used to measure the functionality of an Object Oriented (00)system. This paper suggests a counting procedure to measure the functionality of an 00 system during the design phasefrom a designers’ perspective. It is adapted from the TFPCI? The main aim of this paper is to use all the available informationduring the 00 design phase to estimate Object Oriented Design Function Points (OODFP). The novel feature of this approach is that it considers all the basic concepts of 00 systems such as inheritance, aggregation, association and polymorphism.
