Modes of Delivery
Team/Corporate Training
Our Corporate training is carefully structured to help executives keep ahead of rapidly evolving business environments.Description
IFPUG, the International Function Point Users Group, has recognized two software sizing metrics that are complementary to each other. While Function Points have been used for years to measure the business functionality of a software application, SNAP is a recently introduced measure of non-functional software size. SNAP (Software Non-Functional Assessment Process) has quickly received worldwide acceptance into the sizing community, and is globally used in collaboration with Function Points to aid in project estimation, quality analysis and performance productivity.
When both measures are used in tandem, you can gain a deeper perception of project delivery and application maintenance. Function points size the data flow through a software application, while SNAP measures the non-functional requirements, and when used in conjunction they provide a host of benefits to the project.
Our two day course in Holistic Software Size Estimation using FPA and SNAP is the best path to get started with the IFPUG method, and covers all the concepts related to estimation and measurement processes in software projects. Using real-world case studies, learn to implement best practices in IFPUG FPA and SNAP, and gain valuable insights into the components that make up your software applications.
On successful completion of the course, you will receive a Course Completion Certificate from KnowledgeHut with Credits (1 credit per hour of training).
What you will learn?
- Definitions, rules and guidelines of FPA and SNAP
- Details of the various estimation methodologies, tools and implementation techniques
- How to identify logical functional components of software, and assess function point values
- How to better plan and estimate projects
- Understand process performance baselines, and how to identify areas of process improvement
- How to increase performance efficiency and functional stability
- How to quantify the impacts of non-functional strategies
- How to provide specific inputs when detailing non-functional issues
You will also get:
- Two day instructor-led classroom training
- Progress checks, counting exercises and live case studies
- Condensed slide pack of both IFPUG FPA and SNAP
- Two real time case studies for IFPUG FPA, and one case study for SNAP
- Downloadable e-book
- SNAP Assessment Practices Manual (soft copy)
- One month warranty period during which the participants can take our support
- 16 PDUs
Who Can Attend?
Professionals who are involved in counting and using Function Points must learn how to assess the non-functional SNAP entities as well, as both go hand-in-hand.
An indicative participant mix would include:
- Project Managers
- Delivery Managers
- Business Analysts
- Software Metrics Specialists
- Quality Consultants

The learning methodology put it all together for me. I ended up attempting projects I’ve never done before and never thought I could.
Attended Full-Stack Development Bootcamp workshop in July 2022I know from first-hand experience that you can go from zero and just get a grasp on everything as you go and start building right away.
Attended Full-Stack Development Bootcamp workshop in July 2022I now have a job offer! The hands-on learning really helped. For someone like me who is completely new to this field, it was easy to learn all the Data Science and Machine Learning tools, especially Time series forecasting, machine learning and recommender engines. I have a job offer from Uber and am so grateful!
Attended Data Science Bootcamp workshop in July 2021Best quality in the market today In today’s world, Data science is among the best career options for an IT professional. Having already done a bunch of courses from KnowledgeHut, I was already sure of the quality of the training. And I was not disappointed. Their Data Science Bootcamp was an intensive yet refreshing course that has made me very confident to look for a job as an analyst. Thank you KnowledgeHut!
Attended Data Science Bootcamp workshop in July 2021KnowledgrHut’s Back-End Developer Bootcamp helped me acquire all the skills I require. The learn-by-doing method helped me gain work-like experience and helped me work on various projects.
Attended Back-End Development Bootcamp workshop in May 2021I know from first-hand experience that you can go from zero and just get a grasp on everything as you go and start building right away.
Attended Front-End Development Bootcamp workshop in April 2021Everything was well organized. I would definitely refer their courses to my peers as well. The customer support was very interactive. As a small suggestion to the trainer, it will be better if we have discussions in the end like Q&A sessions.
Attended PMP® Certification workshop in April 2020I had enrolled for the course last week at KnowledgeHut. The course was very well structured. The trainer was really helpful and completed the syllabus on time and also provided real world examples which helped me to remember the concepts.
