AFP — Value

12. Function point analysis provides value and insight after the application has been delivered. When support requests and upgrades are being assessed, FPA helps to determine the value, and the size and effort associated with those change requests. Again, these values are determined from requirements, vague or specific as they may be. Code does not exist to assist with this determination, nor does an automated count using code as the driver.

This is not an issue with the specification. However, having a repository of accurate, up-to-date counts to calibrate estimates from requirements allows an organization to consistently improve its estimated methods, and this adds great value.
