Software productivity measurement
Proceedings of the May 16-19, 1983, national computer conference on - AFIPS '83, 1983Productivity is a crucial concern for most organizations. This is especially true for software development organizations. Although the term productivity is widely used, the difficulty of defining it leads to serious problems in productivity measurement.

Abstract : This report examines the current state of development of automated software testing techniques. The report identifies and describes techniques that are useful for detecting errors in software. It also examines techniques for proving the correctness of programs, for debugging (locating and correcting errors), and for producing documentation ...

Measuring software flexibility
IEE Proceedings - Software, 2006Flexibility has been recognised as a desirable quality of software since the earliest days of software engineering. Classic and contemporary software design literature suggests that particular implementations are more flexible than others, but stops short of suggesting objective criteria for quantifying such claims.

Assurance is not a specific thing that can be easily measured and monitored. It is an emerging composition of a variety of independently collected data elements that come from loosely linked software life cycle activities. As a system emerges from concept to high-level design to architecture to detailed design to code to components to implementation ...

Software and Software Process Measurement
2018To investigate whether a (deployed) software process achieves its goals, some form of validation is needed. In many cases, a measurement program can provide a useful basis for such validation, providing information about performance and quality of software and software processes, and thus helping to find gap and identify improvement opportunities or ...

Software reliability measurement
Journal of Systems and Software, 1979The quantification of software reliability is needed for the system engineering of products involving computer programs and the scheduling and monitoring of software development. It is also valuable for the comparative evaluation of the effectiveness of various design, coding, testing, and documentation techniques.

Software complexity measurement
Communications of the ACM, 1986Inappropriate use of software complexity measures can have large, damaging effects by rewarding poor programming practices and demoralizing good programmers. Software complexity measures must be critically evaluated to determine the ways in which they can best be used.

Proceedings of the 3rd International Software Metrics Symposium, 2002
Explores problems in the measurement of evolving software systems. As these systems change through successive builds, the complexity characteristics of the individual modules that make up the system also change. A methodology is presented that extends the notion of software complexity domains across sequential builds.

Software reliability measurement
IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications, 1990The measurement and analysis aspects of software reliability are described with the aim of providing software engineers and managers a sense of where and how software reliability measurements can be applied to their projects. Some background for understanding software reliability measurement is provided, and activities associated with measuring and ...

Software Testing, Verification and Reliability, 1991
AbstractThere are two distinct notions of validation for software measures. On the one hand there is the informal notion that a measure is only valid if it is useful and practical. Although this view of validation is important, it is almost impossible to test.
