By associating the details of a Function Point Analysis with an easy to construct model of the software system, the Function Point WORKBENCHÔ provides vivid and graphic support for the counting process.

The Function Point WORKBENCHÔ is designed by people who count. It has been specifically crafted to make building the model and assigning function points as quick and easy as possible. It caters for counts where information or resources are limited, such as early life cycle counts, as well as detailed counts.
