SNAP IFPUG Software Size Estimation and Measurement Training Course
Software Non-functional Assessment Process (SNAP) is a measurement of software development based on the non-functional requirement and size of the software. It is widely used in collaboration with Function Points to aid project estimation, performance productivity, and quality analysis. The International Function Point User Group (IFPUG) is a US-based organization of function point analysis metric software users. The IFPUG functional size measurement method quantifies software functionality based on its logical design and functional requirements.
This instructor-led, live training (online or onsite) is aimed at professionals who wish to learn how to use SNAP in project measurement and estimation.
By the end of this training, participants will be able to:
- Learn about the SNAP and FPA rules and guidelines.
- Be able to plan and estimate software projects better.
- Understand process performance baselines and identify areas for process improvement.
- Utilize SNAP to increase performance efficiency and obtain functional stability.
Format of the Course
- Interactive lecture and discussion.
- Lots of exercises and practice.
- Hands-on implementation in a live-lab environment.
Course Customization Options

14 HoursIn this instructor-led, live training in Brazil (onsite or remote), participants will learn how to use AutoIt to automate window applications as they step through a series of hands-on live-lab exercises.
Behat: Behavior Driven Development (BDD) with PHP
14 HoursBehat is a Behavior Driven Development (BDD) test framework written in PHP. It facilitates communication among developers, testers, business stakeholders and clients during the software development process. Behat allows non-technical people to write clear descriptions of an application's intended behavior, then runs those "scenarios" as functional tests against the application.
In this instructor-led, live training, participants will learn how to write and execute BDD style test cases using Behat and PHP.
By the end of this training, participants will be able to:
- Run automated tests written in the human-readable, "Given, When, Then" Gherkin language
- Use Behat based test cases to improve collaboration between technical and non-technical teams
- Integrate Behat with Selenium, Mink, Goutte and other browser emulators to drive tests and generate reports
- Extend Behat functionality through its extension system
- Test numerous usage scenarios through terminal commands, REST APIs, and more.
Audience
- Test engineers
- Developers
Format of the course
- Part lecture, part discussion, exercises and heavy hands-on practice
