碩士 === 國立中央大學 === 資訊工程學系碩士在職專班 === 92 === With the great evolution in software engineering methodology, the idea of object-oriented has been adopted in the Analysis and Design phases. Therefore, Function Point, traditionally a way of measuring the software complexity, has also progressed along the trend. By researching on how to use the Function Point idea to measure the complexity of software developed through object-oriented methods, we make applicable software tools. At the same time, we compare the differences among the methods, trying to propose some new ones. The software tools presented in this research can dynamically modify counting rules, enabling the users to realize the diversity of measurement results from different methods. Moreover, from the previous experiences of software development, we can identify the most appropriate method of measurement, and apply it to the whole software development process. Some quantitative information on software system complexity will also be provided for further research.
