The number of use case points in a project is a function of the following: * The number and complexity of the use cases in the system * The number and complexity of the actors on the system * non - functional requirements ( such as portability, performance, maintainability) that are not written as use cases * the project environment (such as the language, the team's motivations, and so on ) Accuracy of estimation is directly propostional to : * requirements clarity * quality of use clases (details) * quality of data being used for estimation (historical data) * subject matter expertise The parameters usedi n computing use case points are: * use case actors * use case transactions * technical complexity factors * environmental complexity factors Use Case Point: it is s
