Theoretical Count of Function Points for Non-Measurable Items

Abstract

This paper studies and proposes an extended technique of function point counting for items classified as non-measurable. The main objective is to expand the conventional technique of counting to ensure that it comprises consistently the tasks involved in building portals and sites in general. In addition, it also applies to measure the cost of continued activities related to these web applications. The extended technique is potentially useful to measure several products associated with information systems, including periodicals publishable in intranets.
