Course Overview
The purpose of this Function Point Estimation Technique is to provide a complete and in-depth understanding of the Function Point Analysis technique based on the IFPUG Release 4.1 standard.
The principles of functional size measurement are introduced. The counting rules and practices of evaluating the functional size of new and enhanced software projects are discussed in detail. Several case studies relate the material to different phases of commercial software development. Guidelines are established to conduct Function Point counts, to implement Function Point programs, and to interpret Function Point results. Project management software and estimating tools are reviewed. Error margins, limitations, and alternative software measurement techniques are considered.
