SNAP IFPUG Software Size Estimation and Measurement Training Course
Software Non-functional Assessment Process (SNAP) is a measurement of software development based on the non-functional requirement and size of the software. It is widely used in collaboration with Function Points to aid project estimation, performance productivity, and quality analysis. The International Function Point User Group (IFPUG) is a US-based organization of function point analysis metric software users. The IFPUG functional size measurement method quantifies software functionality based on its logical design and functional requirements.
This instructor-led, live training (online or onsite) is aimed at professionals who wish to learn how to use SNAP in project measurement and estimation.
By the end of this training, participants will be able to:
- Learn about the SNAP and FPA rules and guidelines.
- Be able to plan and estimate software projects better.
- Understand process performance baselines and identify areas for process improvement.
- Utilize SNAP to increase performance efficiency and obtain functional stability.
Format of the Course
- Interactive lecture and discussion.
- Lots of exercises and practice.
- Hands-on implementation in a live-lab environment.
