UCP Use Case Point Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Use Case Point (UCP) is:

\[ \text{UCP} = (\text{UUCW} + \text{UAW}) \times \text{TCF} \times \text{ECF} \]

Where:

\( \text{UCP} \) is the Use Case Point
\( \text{UUCW} + \text{UAW} \) is the Unadjusted Project Size
\( \text{TCF} \) is the Technical Factor
\( \text{ECF} \) is the Environmental Factor

What is a Use Case Point?

Use Case Point (UCP) is a metric used in software development to estimate the effort required to develop a software project. It is based on the unadjusted project size, technical factors, and environmental factors. This method helps project managers and developers understand the complexity and size of a project, aiding in planning and resource allocation.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Unadjusted Project Size (UUCW + UAW) = 100
Technical Factor (TCF) = 1.2
Environmental Factor (ECF) = 1.05

Using the formula to calculate the Use Case Point (UCP):

\[ \text{UCP} = 100 \times 1.2 \times 1.05 = 126 \]

The Use Case Point (UCP) is 126.
