Progress 4GL in association with Function Point Analysis????

[Arno Bouman]

Hello,

I'm busy to write a thesis subject. I investigate the feasibility of
the Function Point Analysis ( FPA) in association with the Progress
4GL V7/8.

I'm curious to hear if there is anybody who has experience with using
this method. In fact I have three questions:
What are the experiences with using this method in assiociation with
Progress 4GL V7/8 ?
Where can I find some documentation about this subject?
Who has ideas or remark which can help to complete this investigation?

All reactions are welcome ( preferably by e-mail )

TIA,

Be very careful about the applicability of FPA to the kinds of development.
I've seen lots of misusage of FPA.

In theory, the same method is for any language. The only difference is 4GL
gives higher productivity over 3GL in certain kinds of development. You
need to get a benchmark for applying FPA to Progress 4GL.

There is a few web sites. Mostly, mainframe or alike people talk about it.

Develop a better methodology to replace FPA (in its original sense).

What do you mean by misusage of FPA? Any example? What better
methodoogy can be used to replace FPA?
