Abstract
The use of a natural language engine to locate software functionality in a free text document such as a requirements document is disclosed. An electronic version of a free text document is created. A natural language engine is trained to locate function points. The natural language engine performs an analysis of the electronic version of the free text document to locate function points in the electronic version of the free text document. Advantageously, the natural language engine eliminates human subjectivity from the identification of and counting of function points. Other types of functional counting methodologies can also be used in the present invention such as feature points.
