Assignment # 4

The document provides instructions for calculating the cost estimation of a home security system software using function point analysis. Students are asked to: 1) Identify the counts of external inputs, outputs, inquiries, internal files, and external interface files based on a data flow diagram. 2) Calculate the value adjustment factor (VAF) by responding to questions about characteristics that impact complexity. 3) Calculate the function points of the software considering an average complexity level and using a provided complexity table along with the values from questions 1 and 2.
