Abstract

Software measures have been extensively used to help software managers, customers, and users to assess the quality of a software product based on its internal attributes such complexity and size. Many large software companies have intensively adopted software measures to better understand the relationships between to software quality and software product internal attributes and, thus, improve their software development processes. For instance, software product measures have successfully been used to assess software maintainability and error-proneness. Large software organization, such NASA and HP, have been able to predict costs and delivery time via software product measures. Many characterization baselines have been built based on technically sound software measures.
