Test point analysis is a technique to measure the black-box test effort estimation. The estimation is for system and acceptance testing. The technique uses function point analysis in the estimation. TPA calculates the test effort estimation in test points for highly important functions, according to the user and also for the whole system. As the test points of the functions are measured, the tester can test the important functionalities first, thereby predicting the risk in testing. This technique also considers the quality characteristics, such as functionality, security, usability, efficiency, etc., with proper weightings.
