- True
- False
A. True
12. The function point metric is an example of metric that can be used to assist with technical decision-making based on the analysis model information, without making use of historical project data

- attributes required for each class
- completion time required for system implementation
- complexity of the class hierarchy
- level of object reusability achieved
