Measuring software reusability

Proceedings of 1994 3rd International Conference on Software Reuse, 2002
This paper examines various approaches to measuring software reusability. Knowing what makes software "reusable" can help us learn how to build new reusable components and help us to identify potentially useful modules in existing programs. The paper begins by establishing a taxonomy of approaches to reusability metrics based on their empirical or ...

A Framework for Filtrating Software Measures in Software Measurement Process

Advanced Materials Research, 2012
Software measures filtration is important but often been neglected activity in software measurement. A framework for software measures filtration process that not only satisfied measurement goals but also matched organization capability is been presented.

Measuring software misinterpretation

Journal of Systems and Software, 1991
Abstract In practice, when assessing the understandability of a software-related product, one is often concerned not only with the degree to which the information is comprehended but also with the degree to which it is misinterpreted. For example, because requirements specifications are used during the planning phase of the software life-cycle, how ...

Software reliability measurement

Journal of Systems and Software, 1979
The 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.

A measure of software complexity

1979 International Workshop on Managing Requirements Knowledge (MARK), 1979
In recounting-the copious reasons or excuses for our traditional problems in developing and maintaining computer software, many authorities have mentioned complexity (e.g., References 2, 8, 15). The complexity pointed to sometimes is the inherent complexity of the jobs the computer is to do; sometimes it is the complexity of the systems or programs ...

Properties of Software Measures

1992
Software measures (or metrics) are important in managing software development. Selecting which metrics to use is difficult. This paper describes desireable properties of software metrics that have been mentioned in the literature. The subsumes relationship between properties is investigated. A partial order of the properties is presented.

Measuring Software Security from the Design of Software

Proceedings of the 18th International Conference on Computer Systems and Technologies, 2017
With the increasing use of mobile phones in contemporary society, more and more networked computers are connected to each other. This has brought along security issues. To solve these issues, both research and development communities are trying to build more secure software. However, there is the question that how the secure software is defined and how

A framework for software quality measurement

IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications, 1990
The authors propose a quality model as a framework which should facilitate the evolution of theoretically based systems of measurement for the processes and products of the software development lifecycle. They start by defining measurement and quality measurement, and they present a model for software quality measurement.

Measurement processes are software, too

Journal of Systems and Software, 1999
Abstract Software process improvement and measurement are closely linked: measures are the only way to prove improvements in a process. Despite this link, and the interest in process improvement, measurement is not widely applied in industrial software production.

A simple measure of software complexity

ACM SIGPLAN Notices, 1985
Every science mast have its own method of investigation built on a sound foundation that is empirical, justifiable and verifiable. Software metrics, too, can benefit from this principle. A complex aggregate of tools, ideas, methodologies, programming languages, and varieties of applications go into the development, design, manufacture and maintenance ...
