SOFTWARE MEASUREMENT

open access: yes, 2001
This article provides an overview of the basic concepts and state of the art of software measurement. Software measurement is an emerging field of software engineering, since it may provide support for planning, controlling, and improving the software development process, as needed in any industrial development process.

Software reliability measurement

IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications, 1990
The 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 ...

Distance-based software measurement: necessary and sufficient properties for software measures

Information and Software Technology, 2000
Abstract Axiomatic approaches to software measurement present sets of necessary, but not sufficient measure axioms. The insufficiency of the measure axioms implies that they are useful to invalidate existing software measures, but not to validate them.

Software Productivity Measurements

AT&T Technical Journal, 1990
A description is presented of the software productivity measurement metrics, the important productivity factors, and some applications of the software productivity data for the 5ESS switch developed for the US market. The measurement of production rate and the study of productivity factors have established a solid foundation for the pursuit of ...

Validating software measures

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.

Software productivity measurement

Proceedings of the May 16-19, 1983, national computer conference on - AFIPS '83, 1983
Productivity 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.

Property-based software engineering measurement

open access: yesIEEE Transactions on Software Engineering, 1996
Little theory exists in the field of software system measurement. Concepts such as complexity, coupling, cohesion or even size are very often subject to interpretation and appear to have inconsistent definitions in the literature. As a consequence, there

Measuring software evolution

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.

Studies on measuring software

IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications, 1990
A quality control workshop prototype based on a quantitative approach which is operational from the validation phase was developed. Several telecommunications software systems were analyzed, particularly those areas pertaining to complexity and reliability.
