16. Function point - Criticism 1 Albrecht observed in his research that Function Points were highly correlated to lines of code, which has resulted in a questioning of the value of such a measure if a more objective measure, namely counting lines of code, is available https://store.theartofservice.com/the-function-point-toolkit.html

18. Function pointer - Simple function pointers 1 Such pointers in older languages are generally less type safety|type-safe than in more modern languages, though, since the latter associate more data type|typing information with a function pointer variable, such as the data type of the return value of the function and the data type information of the parameter (computer programming)|parameters to the function. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-function-point-toolkit.html

COSMIC software sizing - COSMIC / traditional function points differences 1 From a pure size measurement point of view, the most important improvements of the COSMIC method compared with using traditional Function Points are as follows https://store.theartofservice.com/the-function-point-toolkit.html

39. COSMIC software sizing - COSMIC / traditional function points differences 1 * The COSMIC method was designed to measure the functional requirements of software in the domains of business application, real-time and infrastructure software (e.g. operating systems, web components, etc.), in any layer of a multi- layer architecture and at any level of decomposition. Traditional Function Points were designed to measure only the functionality ‘seen’ by human users of business software in the application layer. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-function-point-toolkit.html

COSMIC software sizing - COSMIC / traditional function points differences 1 Traditional Function Points can therefore give highly misleading sizes for certain types of software which means that great care must be taken when using these sizes for performance measurement or estimating https://store.theartofservice.com/the-function-point-toolkit.html

41.
