I am pleased to learn that CATS Software has developed a semi-automated tool for function point analysis. See http://www.castsoftware.com/Product/Automated-Function-Points.aspx
However, we are still not where we ought to be, i.e. using UML or DFD as our starting point and then computing the function points from those artifacts automatically - once the system boundary has been established.
See http://www.ing.unife.it/docenti/FabrizioRiguzzi/Papers/LamMelRig-PAP98.pdf and http://www.ing.unife.it/docenti/FabrizioRiguzzi/Papers/GraLamMel-TR97.pdf which use DFD as their starting point and http://www.cs.unibo.it/~cianca/wwwpages/labspo/uemura.pdf which uses UML.
The first tool was a research project that was never turned into a product and the second one was a commercial sponsored research project the details of which could not be disclosed.
