Dear Rahil,

The question asked to you in not common question (nor relevent) concerning 'Lean Six Sigma'. If you are being asked such question, then may be because of 2-reasons:
  1. The interviewer is putting the query from Software Development perspective.
  2. The interviewer is asking something that is purely academic in nature.

If it is coming from Software Development background, then the following text may help you:

What are function points?

In order to express the amount of business functionality of an information system, a function point is used as a unit of measurement.

There is International Function Point Users Group in US based organization of users of the software metric Function Point Analysis

Every function point is a unit of measure used by IFPUG functional size measurement method.

The IFPUG FSM is one of the currently recognized standards of ISO for functionally sizing software.

What are the different elements in Functions points?

The elements in functions points are:
  • External Inputs: It is an elementary process which allows the data to cross the boundary from outside to inside.
  • External Outputs: A elementary process which allows the data passes across the boundary from inside to outside
  • External Inquiry: It is an elementary process which has both input and output components which results data retrieval from one or more internal logical files and external interface files.
  • Internal Logical Files: An identifiable group of logically related data that resides entirely within the applications boundary and is maintained through external inputs.
  • External Interface Files: An identifiable group of logically related data that is used only for reference purpose. The data is completely persisted outside the application and is maintained by another application.
