CRCM (IFPUG) 3

Question 1

In IFPUG counting, a Record Element Type (RET) is used to measure complexity of which function type?

Accepted Answer

Data Functions (ILFs and EIFs)

Answer

RETs are subgroups of logically related data within an ILF or EIF, and they are used along with DETs to determine the complexity of Data Functions.

Question 2

A regulatory compliance application is being retired. Under IFPUG guidelines, how should this be reflected in a function point count?

Accepted Answer

As a deletion in an enhancement count, reducing the application baseline to zero

Answer

When an application is fully retired, all its functions are counted as deleted in an enhancement count, bringing the baseline size to zero.

Question 3

Which IFPUG principle ensures that counting is independent of the programming language or technology used?

Accepted Answer

Technology independence (language-neutral measurement from the user's perspective)

Answer

IFPUG FPA measures functionality from the user's perspective, making the count independent of implementation technology or programming language.

Question 4

For CRCM exam purposes, how does IFPUG define a 'user' in the context of function point analysis?

Accepted Answer

Any person or application that interacts with the application being measured across its boundary

Answer

In IFPUG, 'user' includes both human users and other applications that send or receive data across the application boundary.

Question 5

A compliance reporting system has an External Output that retrieves data from two ILFs and formats a regulatory report. The report contains 12 unique data fields. What complexity level does the FTR and DET combination suggest?

Accepted Answer

High complexity, based on 2 FTRs and more than 5 DETs

Answer

An EO referencing 2 FTRs and more than 5 DETs falls into the High complexity cell of the IFPUG EO complexity matrix.
