Create an Application System

You can use Function Point Modeler to create an Application System to visually system boundary defined by IFPUG-CPM .

    • Application System
    • Sub System
    • Transactional Function
    • Data Function

    You can drag and drop it onto the Function Point Modeler Diagram Editor.

  2. Drag an Application System item from a drawer to the desired place ( an empty space inside the Function Point Modeler diagram editor). You can also click a location on the page, and then click on an item in the drawer. Make sure that you drag and drop appropriate items onto a diagram. For example, you can not drop Sub System item onto the diagram first without an Application System .

  4. Once the Application System appears on the diagram, you can usually set some attributes for it in the Properties view or you can click the attribute of the Application System to set its value. Type a desired name for the Application System and press Enter.
