Achieve Success in the IFPUG I40-420 Exam: A Detailed Certified Function Point Specialist Guide

Technical requirements do not contribute to the functional size

CPM is transformed into an ISO standard for size with inclusion of GSC

Functional size can be estimated in the proposal phase

Prior to FP counting, we need to determine the purpose of the count

Has the primary intent to maintain one or more ILFs

An elementary process to hold data or control information from outside the boundary

Has the primary intent to alter the behavior of a transaction

Has the primary intent to reference one or more EIFs

Use a developer view

Identify all the functions and their complexity

Make assumptions about functions and/or their complexity

All the above

Equivalent values are converted

Behavior of the application is altered

Derived data is created

Both A and B

Provides an answer to a business question, and it is the business question that determines the purpose

Influences the positioning of the application between the software under review and the surrounding software

Influences the type of FP count to answer the business problem under investigation

Provides an input to the estimation process needed to determine the level of effort required to develop the first release of an application

Transactional or data functions provided to convert data and /or provide other user specified conversion requirements

Exists only during the development or enhancement of an application

Conversion functionality is outside the scope of FP counting

Both A and B

It provides a measure of the functionalities that an application provides to the user

It is never updated after the initial application installation

It is associated with an application's lifecycle

Both A and C

The boundary membrane

The application interface

The boundary interface

The boundary

They represent the functionality provided to the user to meet internal data requirements

They represent the functionality provided to the user to process the data

They indicate the general functionality provided to the user of the application

They are measured primarily for project FPs
