IEEE P32430

Revision Standard - Active - Draft.


The IEEE-2430 standard specifies the set of definitions, rules and steps for applying the IFPUG (International Function Point Users Group) nonfunctional size measurement method (SNAP) and provides guideline and examples of how to use the size measurements in software projects.
IEEE 2430 is complementary to ISO/IEC 20926:2009 "Software and systems engineering -- Software measurement -- IFPUG functional size measurement method". Having both the functional size (ISO/IEC 20926:2009) and the non-functional size (IEEE 2430-2019) provides a complete view of the functional requirements and the non-functional requirements.
Providing quantifiable measures for the functional and the nonfunctional requirements allows organizations to build historical data repositories that can be referenced to assist in decision making for better planning and estimating cost and schedule of software projects, measure productivity and quality of software projects and analyze improvement trends.
