CHARISMATEK Software Metrics Online Training Course:
Unleashing the Power of Function Point Analysis Using the Function Point WORKBENCH™:
Online Training Course
4 by 2-hour sessions
CHARISMATEK Software Metrics’ Function Point WORKBENCH™
software is much more than just a Function Point Count repository. Instead,
it provides a range of features that both substantially enhance the Function
Point Analysis process and aid in the overall management and control of
software projects.
-
The WORKBENCH incorporates a complete Functional Sizing
Methodology. The embedded methodology provides full coverage for the leading
IFPUG CPM 4.3 Functional Size Measurement Method (the WORKBENCH is certified
by IFPUG as Function Point Software Type 1), helps ensure that all Function
Point Counts are fully auditable and defendable and facilitates the
WORBENCH’s sophisticated communication, analysis and reporting
functionality.
-
WORKBENCH users perform their Function Point Analysis
by building functional models of their projects’ or applications’
functionality within the tool’s primary workspace. These models can be
easily extended to address future enhancement projects and changes in
project or application scope and can be customised to highlight the size and
nature of specific functionality of interest in a manner and with an ease
that is simply not possible without the WORKBENCH.
-
The WORKBENCH’s automated counting features (patent
pending) provide the most sophisticated facilities available to ensure
that users perform their Function Point Counts as quickly, consistently and
accurately as possible.
-
The WORKBENCH goes beyond the typical ‘simplistic’
approach to top-down project effort and cost estimation. User defined
‘Productivity Sinks’ allow multiple different productivity rates to be
identified within a single project. Functionality can be allocated to
specific Sinks to estimate the effort or cost of an individual Sink or of
the entire project and to fully explore various ‘what if’ scenarios. The
generated Function Point Size can also be exported for use with a range of
compatible estimation tools and techniques.
-
The WORKBENCH includes a range of reporting options.
Detailed and Analysis Reports address all relevant issues relating to an
individual Function Point Count, including its breakdown by both standard
and user-defined attributes. Portfolio Reports address issues relating to an
organisation’s software portfolios, including project growth as a result of
‘scope creep’, change in application size over time, total delivered work
product and total software portfolio size. The WORKBENCH – Publisher allows
new and customised reports addressing an organisation’s own specific
requirements to be easily generated and utilised.
At the completion of the course, participants will be
able to utilise the Function Point WORKBENCH™ to:
-
Perform, analyse and report on all their Function Point
Analysis tasks;
-
Build preliminary and detailed functional models of
software projects and applications and communicate software functionality
and related issues using those models.
