Object points are an approach used in software development effort estimation under some models such as COCOMO II.[1][2]
Object points are a way of estimating effort size, similar to Source Lines Of Code (SLOC)orFunction Points. They are not necessarily related to objects in Object-oriented programming, the objects referred to include screens, reports, and modules of the language. The number of raw objects and complexity of each are estimated and a weighted total Object-Point count is then computed and used to base estimates of the effort needed.[3]
