Function Points Analysis Training Course
by David Longstreet
Publisher: SoftwareMetrics.Com 2008
Number of pages: 111
Description:
Human beings solve problems by breaking them into smaller, understandable pieces. Problems that may initially appear to be difficult are found to be simple when dissected into their components, or classes. When the objects to be classified are the contents of software systems, a
set of definitions and rules, or a scheme of classification, must be used to place these objects into
their appropriate categories. Function point analysis is one such technique: FPA is a method to break systems into smaller components, so they can be better understood and analyzed. It also provides a structured technique for problem solving. Function Point Analysis is a structured
method to perform functional decomposition of a software application.
