Don’t miss this unique opportunity to learn and grow with IFPUG.
The purpose of this Knowledge Cafe is to provide an overview and delve into one of IFPUG’s newest white papers, “System Time and Other Platform Data in Function Points”.
System clock and other platform data are commonly used in modern software systems. Examples of platform data include network data (e.g., IP address, MAC Address), system identification data (e.g., OS Type, OS Name and Version) and any other data maintained within the Operating System (OS) or Runtime Environment. Platform data is sometimes used as tracking information, such as logging transactions, but some other times this data is significant and essential to satisfy business requirements. From the Function Point Analysis (FPA) point of view, information used by an application can be classified as one of the following, depending on their use in satisfying user requirements:
- Functional data: data that is necessary for business functions, required by elementary processes (EPs) to satisfy functional user requirements (data attributes or DETs).
- Non-functional data: data used by elementary processes to satisfy non-functional user requirements (for quality, standard audit and control, physical implementation and/or technical reasons).
Another type of data recognized in FPA is Control Information, which is defined as data that influences an elementary process by specifying what, when or how data is to be processed. Control information can be found in both, functional and non-functional forms. In this paper, specific guidance is provided on platform data acting as functional Control Information, following the CPM approach. This paper/webinar provides some examples and guidance on how to evaluate platform data.
