BS ISO/IEC 24570:2018

This standard BS ISO/IEC 24570:2018 Software engineering. NESMA functional size measurement method. Definitions and counting guidelines for the application of function point analysis is classified in these ICS categories:

• 35.080 Software

1.1 Purpose

This International Standard specifies the set of definitions, rules and guidelines for applying the Nesma Function Point Analysis (FPA) method.

1.2 Conformity

This International Standard is conformant with all mandatory provisions of ISO/IEC 14143‑1:2007.

1.3 Applicability

This International Standard can be applied to all functional domains.

1.4 Focus

The International Standard focuses on how the functional size of an application is determined. The International Standard does not go into any of the aspects that play a role when project budgets are established on the basis of this functional size (e.g. productivity standards and productivity attributes).

The figure below indicates what this International Standard will and will not cover.
