Software Engineering Estimation Metrics Quiz

Lines of Code (LOC) is any line of text in a code that is not a comment or blank line, and also header lines, in any case of the number of statements or fragments of statements on the line. LOC clearly consists of all lines containing the declaration of any variable, and executable and nonexecutable statements.

LOC can only be used to compare or estimate projects that use the same language and are coded using the same coding standards. It does not consider the total effort needed to specify, design, code, test, etc., and focuses solely on coding activity.

Function Points (FP) provide a measure of problem size that considers the total effort needed to specify, design, code, test, and more, not just the coding effort. It is a more comprehensive measure compared to LOC.
