Abstract

Software metrics are a matter of academic interest. Consumers, software developers, and other practitioners seem less interested in functional size than, maybe, in quality metrics. Functional size is useful for predicting cost of development; however, with today’s software development techniques and wide availability of open software, its size has become less important. Today, compliance, usability, and connectivity, are the most important cost drivers when developing software-intense products. However, functional size is essential for software testing. This is not yet widely accepted because today’s best practices in testing focus on code coverage. However, software must be tested against functionality. Code is usually not available for cloud functionality such as map services. Software-intense products, for instance when driving autonomous vehicles, or powering robots for daily life, rely on functionality from various origins, not on embedded software alone. This paper sketches the theoretical framework for software metrics that help consumers assessing the level of safety and privacy of their software.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Intuitionism is an approach where mathematics is purely the result of the constructive mental activity of humans rather than the discovery of fundamental principles claimed to exist in an objective reality. That is, logic and mathematics are not considered analytic activities wherein deep properties of objective reality are revealed and applied but are instead considered the application of internally consistent methods used to realize more complex mental constructs, regardless of their possible independent existence in an objective reality (Wikipedia 2018).
