Abstract :
A perfective maintenance model applicable to information systems is introduced. This model results from a DELPHI study and is an adaptation of the function point analysis method. It uses four types of components: added, modified, suppressed, and untouched. When used for estimation, the model includes an environment factor and a unit cost per point curve. A validation experiment is also presented
