"Function Point Analysis-measurement practices for successful software projects"

I read this book because I read 《Software Engineering Project Management: function analysis methods and practicesLeft a bunch of questions. I have borrowed it from the library for almost two weeks, but I just flipped it over. The degree of seriousness is far less than that of the previous book. It's not that this book is not good, but the structure is not easy for me to clarify the clues. I don't know how other people are doing. In my opinion, there is a lot of nonsense. A book with more than 400 pages is not as familiar as a 10-page PPT. Some people on the Internet say it is because of poor translation, but I don't think so. If a book is good, it is very attractive, but it is getting more and more painful to read, not only the translation problem, but also the structure and content. However, this book is regarded as the world's most authoritative FPA software measurement manual, probably because there are few such books.

In addition, the function point analysis is a good concept. ifpug (International Function Point Users Group) does not provide the function point computing practice manual (CPM) That is downloaded for free. The latest version 4.1), also known as a non-profit organization, the world's largest software measurement alliance. I feel very utilitarian, and also introduced the corresponding function point expert certification (certified Function Point specialist, CFPs ).

It sounds like a good concept. A measurement tool made me less interested by two books. However, the basic concepts and general algorithm online ppt and PDF can solve the problem. Study it in the future.
