Sizing and Estimating Software in Practice

Measurement of factors, such as product size, is crucial for effective software development and function points, particularly the Mk II function points. This book focuses primarily on the practical use and application of function points, rather than the theory, guiding the reader in an accessible way through each stage of the process and aiming to bring the subject to a wide audience. The book addresses an area of growing interest and importance and is designed to be used at a number of levels: reference, overview and tutorial. To the latter's end it includes case studies and questions.
