Measuring software sustainability
International Conference on Software Maintenance, 2003. ICSM 2003. Proceedings., 2004Planning and management of software sustainment is impaired by a lack of consistently applied, practical measures. Without these measures, it is impossible to determine the effect of efforts to improve sustainment practices. In this paper we provide a context for evaluating sustainability and discuss a set of measures developed at the Software ...

ASSOCIATION ANALYSIS OF SOFTWARE MEASURES [PDF]
International Journal of Software Engineering and Knowledge Engineering, 2002 Software measures (metrics) provide software engineers with an important means of quantifying essential features of software products and software processes such as software reliability, maintenance, reusability and alike. Software measures interact between themselves. Some of them may be deemed redundant.

2016 IEEE 40th Annual Computer Software and Applications Conference (COMPSAC), 2016
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 ...

When a software measure is not a measure
Software Engineering Journal, 1992A recent interesting paper by Melton et al. [1] discussed finding measures which preserve intuitive orderings on software documents. Informally, if ≤ is such an ordering, then they argue that a measure M is a real-valued function defined on documents such that M(F) ≤ M(F′) whenever F ≤ F′.

Measurement Theory and Software Measures
1992During the last years much attention has been directed toward the measurement process of the properties of software. Many software measures have been developed in order to determine the static complexity of single programs (intra-modular complexity) and entire software systems (inter-modular complexity) and many authors discussed the properties of ...

A philosophy for software measurement
Journal of Systems and Software, 1990Abstract We as a group—called the Grubstake Group—are convinced that software measures are essential for “controlling” software. Thus, we are dedicated to producing an environment in which software measures can be confidently used by software managers and programmers.

Software in measurement and measurement in software [Life after Graduation]
IEEE Instrumentation & Measurement Magazine, 2015I had an unusual path into the measurement business. After graduate school, doing robotics in a computer science department, I was hired by Hewlett Packard Laboratories to improve their mechanical CAD systems software for planning robotic and human assembly operations and feeding back to the designer estimated manufacturing costs.

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.

11th IEEE International Software Metrics Symposium (METRICS'05), 2005
We are going to discuss three main topics of software measurement of open-source software repositories: (1) appropriate architecture for "metrics mining", (2) problems met while trying to make automatic the measurement process on a large number of distinct projects and (3) the applicable statistical ...

On the definition of dynamic software measures
Proceedings of the ACM-IEEE international symposium on Empirical software engineering and measurement, 2012The quantification of several software attributes (e.g., size, complexity, cohesion, coupling) is usually carried out in a static fashion, and several hundreds of measures have been defined to this end. However, static measurement may only be an approximation for the measurement of these attributes during software use.
