4 HELP FUNCTIONS 帮助功能

原文

Problem description

A number of help screens are to be implemented in an application to be developed. General information about the application can be obtained by clicking the menu-item Application of the ?-icon in the menu bar, e.g., information about which modules exist and about the relationship between them. Specific information about a particular transaction can be retrieved by clicking the menu-item This screen of the ?-icon, e.g., information about which fields must be filled in and the value range of the different fields.

The user cannot maintain these help texts.

How is this help facility counted?

Discussion

According to the guidelines, help screens are valued as external inquiries. The number of types of help information determines the number of functions. In this situation, there are two kinds of help information because the menu-item This screen provides help information at screen level and the menu-item Application provides help information about the application.

The complexity of such external inquiries is valued as low in a detailed function point analysis and as average in a high level function point analysis.

Solution

Count this help facility as two external inquiries.

问题描述

许多帮助屏幕将在待开发的应用程序中实现。有关应用程序的一般信息可以通过点击菜单栏中的？图表菜单项，例如，关于存在哪些模块以及它们之间关系的信息。有关特定事务的特定信息可以通过点击此屏幕的？图标，例如，关于必须填写哪些字段以及不同字段的取值范围的信息。

用户无法维护这些帮助文本。

这个帮助功能是应该如何计算功能点？

讨论

根据指南，帮助屏幕被视为外部查询。帮助信息类型的数量决定了函数的数量。在这种情况下，有两种帮助信息，因为特定窗体菜单项提供屏幕级别的帮助信息，而应用程序菜单项提供有关应用程序的帮助信息。

在详细的功能点分析中，此类外部查询的复杂度被认为是低复杂度，在简略功能点分析时是中复杂度。

解决方案

将此帮助功能计为两个外部查询。
