Reasons for taking this course
Function Point Analysis (FPA) is considered the main tool for functional measuring of software products and processes involved in its development.
This includes concepts which can be understood by both developers and users. Consequently, quantification of software production becomes meaningful for both parties.
The main use of Function Points in the software industry are:
- Estimation of software projects (development and maintenance);
- Improve software project management, mainly scope management;
- Support quality and productivity analysis;
- Measure unit of software development and maintenance contracts;
To learn more about Function Point Analysis and its benefits see our frequently asked questions about Function Points.
To teach how to measure and estimate the functional size of software (or count function points) going through the measurement process is defined by the International Function Point User Group - IFPUG (responsible for the standardization of FPA). It is also related to methods for size estimation from some incomplete organization requirements. FATTO Software Consulting advantages: At the end of the course, students will be trained and will get more information about: Professionals involved in software development, software acquisition, software quality assurance. Prerequisites None. However, if the participant does not have any prior knowledge about FPA, it is recommended to take the course Function Point Analysis: Fundamentals, Benefits and Implementation. The course has an interactive approach, where the participant is not only a spectator of the issues presented. At the end of each section, the student must perform some practical exercises. Half of the course is dedicated to case studies where participants have the opportunity to apply the theory learned in cases similar to real situations. Duration 16 hours. This course allow to the student to have a 16 pdus PMP credit in the certification program. Version The course is based on the latest version (4.3.1) of the Counting Practices Manual – IFPUG.
