Overview
Function Point Analysis (FPA) is a method that measures the functional size of the software based on the amount of business functionality. Impacted Function Point (IFP) is a resultant unit of FPA.
This instructor-led, live training (online or onsite) is aimed at professionals who wish to understand the concept of function point measurement and how to incorporate it into the software development productivity measurement.
By the end of this training, participants will be able to:
- Understand function point and non-function point measurements in software development.
- Measure the units of a software product for quality and productivity analysis.
