Which of following are advantages of using LOC (lines of code) as a size-oriented metric? (a)LOC is easily computed. (b)LOC is a language dependent measure. (c)LOC is a language independent measure. (d)LOC can be computed before a design is completed. Answer: A 8. Which of the following are advantages of using function points (FP) as a measure of the functionality delivered by a software application? (a)FP is easily computed (b)FP is a language dependent measure. (c)FP is a language independent measure (d)FP can be computed before a design is completed (e)c and d Answer: E 9.
