Abstract
We combine current literature in software quality metrics with an attitude validation study with industry practitioners, to establish how quality metrics can be used for data-driven approaches. We also propose a simple metric nomenclature and map our findings into a decision making model for easy adoption and utilization of data-driven decision-making methods.
