Abstract:
Software measurement is a crucial task for the planning and the developing of information systems. The Function Point Analysis (FPA) was developed to measure the complexity of the functionality of systems. Its methods are independent of technology and can be applied directly to the specification of features and the domain. However, the counting should be performed by a metrics analyst, being under subjectivity, wasting time and a large number of resources. This article describes the proposal of automation of function point counting performed using Unified Modeling Language (UML) models and Model Driven Architecture (MDA) methodology. Our approach provides a standard method for counting based on the International Function Point Users Group (IFPUG), eliminating the subjectivity present in traditional procedures. The work counts the number of realized function points, based on the information system already developed. The counting of function points achieved allows for transparency to the client receiving the product besides the construction of an important historical base for the refinement of future estimates.
