Function Points and Use Cases - A Requirements Workshop

Using IFPUG 4.2 rules (one day)

Course Description

This one-day workshop will discuss how to apply FPA to Use Cases and illustrate how easy it can be to size use-case documents or other requirement documents, and focuses on issues and techniques for function point counts based on use cases.

1. Types and common elements of use-case methodologies.
2. What are the components of a good use case and good requirements?

6. Accounting for changes during development.
