Question

Difference between LOC and FP based estimation

Answer 1

Answer:

FP LOC

1. FP is specification based. 1. LOC is an analogy based.

2. FP is language independent. 2. LOC is language dependent.

3. FP is user-oriented. 3. LOC is design-oriented.

4. It is extendible to LOC. 4. It is convertible to FP (backfiring)

Answer 2

Answer:

The difference between LOC and the FP are as follows:

Explanation:

LOC in Software Engineering:-

• Lines of Code( LOC) is conceivably the easiest among all criteria available to measure design size.
• Accordingly, this metric is extremely popular. This metric measures the size of a design by counting the number of source instructions in the developed program.
• While counting the number of source instructions, comment lines, and title lines were ignored. It determines the LOC count at the end of a design is veritably simple. still, accurate estimation of LOC count on the morning of a design is a veritably delicate task.

Function Point( FP):-

• FP metric proposed by Albrecht in 1983. This metric overcomes numerous of the failings of the LOC metric. Since its commencement in the late 1970s,
• the function point standard has steadily gained fashionability. The function point standard has several advantages over the LOC metric.
• One of the important advantages of the function point metric over the LOC standard is that it can fluently be calculated from the problem specification itself.
• Using the LOC metric, on the other hand, the size can directly be determined only after the product has completely been developed.

• The theoretical idea behind the function point metric is that the size of a software product is directly dependent on the number of different high-position functions. This supposition is reasonable since each point would take fresh exertion to apply.
