Function Points and Backfiring use

[gsa]

Hello,

I am currently using a source code counting tool "Code Counter Pro" (www.geronesoft.com) which is a useful tool for getting SLOC values from my projects. From these SLOC/KLOC values, a backfiring value for each language can be used to determining the approximate function points the project has. This is useful for estimating future projects of the same type.

Is anyone else on this board doing this same method? Is it a good estimation or way to estimate future projects? Would like to get your experience or opinions on this...

Thanks!
