Easy.

Search for: Function Point Analysis

There is also an organization (IFPUG) that is spearheading this that has representatives from a vast array of companies, so they have a huge database to use to develop the process.

There are many companies that produce turnkey software packages, but you need to get spun up with what FPA means and how to employ it, so research as much as you can afford.

The concept is simple; break the problem down into manageable pieces called function points that you can assign weights as to their technical difficulties. There are formulas that you can apply to generate time and resource requirements.

The IFPUG is the bible.
