The SLED database model has been completely revised and simplified. Now you can find all needed information for evaluation purposes and statistics in a compact and clear presentation.

Team integration |
With version 5.0, the team integration has completely changed. In earlier versions of Function Point Modeler cross-team sharing of measurements was performed using the SLED database. This process brought some disadvantages. For this reason, the methodology for the exchange of measurements has completely revised. It is now possible with the help of popular source management systems, to share and synchronize the work between different teams. Function Point Modeler already provides two possible team provider for this purpose. Out of the box CVS and Subversion are supported. Due to the plugin technology Function Point Modeler however is able to integrate the source control system of your choice. Prerequisite for this is that your Source Management System delivers a common connection to Eclipse in form of a plug-in.

Create and manage connections |
Database connections are now created and managed centrally in one postion. Function Point Modeler provides a new view for this. To open this view, select in the menu bar Window > Show View > Other > Function Point Modeler > Connections . This view offers a variety of possibilities, to create new connection profiles, modify, or delete them. With one mouse click, it is now possible to establish a connection or to disconnect. At any point within the application where a database connection is required (e.g. Export SLED) you can now simply select an already created connection profile which is already connected to the underlying database.
