DANSK DS/ISO/IEC 20926 [ Active ]

1.1 Purpose This International Standard specifies the set of definitions, rules and steps for applying the IFPUG functional size measurement (FSM) method. 1.2 Applicability This International Standard has been demonstrated to apply to all functional domains. IFPUG continues to publish white papers providing guidelines for use in evolving environments and domains. IFPUG function point analysts have identified different delivery rates (hours to deliver a function point) related to building applications in different functional domains calibrated for varying project sizes and software complexities. 1.3 Audience This International Standard can be applied by anyone requiring a measurement of functional size. Persons experienced with the method will find this document to be a useful reference. In order to effectively apply this International Standard, persons should be formally trained in the method using IFPUG Certified course materials. It is also advisable to use this standard in conjunction with the other listed IFPUG publications.
