Adjusted FP

The document outlines 14 General System Characteristics (GSCs) used to evaluate system complexity, each rated from 0 to 5. The total GSC score is calculated by summing individual ratings, which is then used to determine the Adjustment Factor (CAF) and the Adjusted Function Points (AFP). A higher GSC total score indicates a more complex project, resulting in an increased AFP.

Adjusted FP: General System Characteristics (GSCs)

There are 14 GSCs, each rated 0–5, where 0 = no influence and 5 = strong influence.

1. Data Communications – How much the system communicates with other systems or networks.

2. Distributed Data Processing – Degree to which data processing is distributed across multiple
locations or systems.

3. Performance Objectives – Need for fast response times, throughput, or resource usage
optimization.

4. Heavily Used Configuration – Frequency or intensity of system use.

5. Transaction Rate – Volume of transactions processed by the system.

6. On-line Data Entry – Extent and complexity of interactive input.

7. End-User Efficiency – Degree to which system must support user productivity.

8. On-Line Update – Requirement for updating files in real-time or interactively.

9. Complex Processing – Complexity of internal processing, calculations, or algorithms.

10. Reusability – Requirement to reuse existing software components or modules.

11. Installation Ease – Difficulty of installing the software in its environment.

12. Operational Ease – Ease of operation and maintenance for end-users or administrators.

13. Multiple Sites – Whether the system is deployed at multiple locations.

14. Facilitate Change – Ease with which the system can be modified or adapted in the future.

How They Are Used

1. Each GSC is rated 0–5 depending on its influence.

2. Sum of all GSC ratings = Total GSC Score.

3. Adjustment Factor (CAF) = 0.65+0.01×Total GSC Score

4. Adjusted FP (AFP) = UFP×CAF

✅ The higher the GSC total score, the more complex or effort-intensive the project, so AFP increases.
