FUN

A System for Measuring Function Points

FUN (FUNction point measurement) is a system for the automated measurement of the Function Point software metric from specifications expressed in the form of an Entity Relationship (ER) diagram and a Data Flow Diagram (DFD). FUN has been implemented in Prolog.

FUN was developed with two aims:

To show how IFPUG informal counting rules can be translated into rigorous unambiguos rules expressing properties of the ER-DFD.
To demonstrate that the translation allows an an easy automation of the counting process.

The following papers provide a description of the main ideas behind the system:

E. Lamma, P. Mello, F. Riguzzi, "A System for Measuring Function Points", Sixth International Conference on The Practical Application of Prolog, 1998
E. Lamma, P. Mello, F. Riguzzi, "A System for Measuring Function Points", Technical Report DEIS-LIA-97-006.

The source files of the system are available as a ZIP file. Please read the included readme.txt file for instruction on how to intall and use the system. Some examples are also available. FUN has been written for Sicstus Prolog 3#5. Please send a mail to Fabrizio Riguzzi if you download the code. FUN is free for acadmic purposes, please contact Fabrizio Riguzzi if you want to use it for commercial purposes . Contact him also to report comments and bugs.
