I want to use Function Point Analysis for calculating the size of an Enhancement project. Can someone help me out ? Usually in Enhancement projects the coding effort is minimal, most of the effort is spent in Impact Analysis and System / regression testing. When I do an FP count how should the time spent for testing the entire system come in to picture ? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance ....Vinod

The tests of a system could be never ending. I think they are related with the risk aceptation of the organization developing the software. What I have seen in my experience is that test goes up to 40% of the total effort dedicated to development, which, depending on language used could be transalted into function points.
