Description
During this internship, you will learn to use the function point method to evaluate the size of software and thus be able to estimate the effort necessary to develop and maintain it. You will also see the strengths and limitations of this method compared to measuring by the number of lines of code.
Who is this training for ?
For whom ?Anyone involved in the functional estimation of an IT project.
