We are thrilled to announce a new IFPUG White Paper, “Applying Function Point Analysis to Microservices.”
Microservice architecture is an emerging model in software architectural design, particularly in cloud applications, with customers often requiring it in bids or contracts, which transforms it from a technical aspect to a user requirement (functional or not functional). This paper provides some guidance in applying Function Point Analysis (FPA) to functional sizing of microservice architectures.
This paper is a great resource for anyone needing to size an application designed with a microservice architecture through providing guidance in definition of most fitting boundaries depending on the sizing purpose, and demonstration of proper BFC identification in a microservice architecture.
