Establishing of Function Point Process Based On Stochastic Distribution

This study aims to establish function point process based on stochastic distribution. In order to demonstrate effectiveness of the study we present a case study that it applies suggested method on an automotive electrical and electronics system software development based on Monte Carlo Simulation. It is expected that the result of this paper is used as guidance for establishing function point process in organizations and tools for helping project managers make decisions correctly.
