Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Correct matching and explanation:
Size-oriented → uses algorithm characteristics as one of the measurement parameters. Size-oriented metrics (for example, Lines of Code, Halstead metrics, cyclomatic complexity) quantify software by code- and algorithm-related properties.
Function-oriented → originally designed to be applied to business information systems. Function-oriented approaches (notably Function Point Analysis) measure delivered functionality and were developed for business application contexts.
Extended function point → derived by normalizing quality and/or productivity measures by considering the size of the software. Extended or adjusted function point measures apply normalization or adjustment factors to reflect quality, productivity, or other characteristics relative to software size.
Function point → uses number of external interfaces as one of the measurement parameters. Function Point Analysis counts elements such as external inputs, outputs, inquiries and external interface files when measuring software functionality.
Thus the correct mapping is: Size-oriented → uses algorithm characteristics; Function-oriented → originally designed for business information systems; Extended function point → derived by normalizing quality/productivity measures by size; Function point → uses number of external interfaces.
