Consider a software project with the following information domain characteristics for calculation of function point metric. Number of external inputs (I) = 30 Number of external outputs (O) = 60 Number of external inquiries (E) = 23 Number of files (F) = 08 Number of external interfaces (N) = 02 It is given that the complexity weighting factors for I, O, E, F and N are 4, 5, 4, 10 and 7, respectively. It is also given that, out of fourteen value adjustment factors that influence the development effort, four factors are not applicable, each of the other four factors have value 3, and each of the remaining factors have value 4. The computed value of function point metric is __________.

To compute the Function Point (FP) metric:

1. Calculate the Unadjusted Function Point (UFP) count:

   $$\text{UFP} = (I \times 4) + (O \times 5) + (E \times 4) + (F \times 10) + (N \times 7)$$

   $$\text{UFP} = (30 \times 4) + (60 \times 5) + (23 \times 4) + (8 \times 10) + (2 \times 7)$$

   $$\text{UFP} = 120 + 300 + 92 + 80 + 14 = 606$$

2. Calculate the Total Degree of Influence (TDI):

   • $4$ factors have a value of $0$ (not applicable)

   • $4$ factors have a value of $3$

   • Remaining $14 - 4 - 4 = 6$ factors have a value of $4$

   $$\text{TDI} = \sum_{i=1}^{14} F_i = (4 \times 0) + (4 \times 3) + (6 \times 4) = 0 + 12 + 24 = 36$$

3. Calculate the Value Adjustment Factor (VAF):

   $$\text{VAF} = 0.65 + 0.01 \times \text{TDI} = 0.65 + 0.01 \times 36 = 1.01$$

4. Calculate the final Function Points (FP):

   $$\text{FP} = \text{UFP} \times \text{VAF} = 606 \times 1.01 = 612.06$$

Hence, the computed value is approximately 612.06 (accepted range: 612 to 613).
