A philosophy for software measurement
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 con dently used by software managers and programmers. However, we are also convinced that such an environment can only be created if there exists a formal and rigorous foundation for software measurement. This foundation will not have to be understood by the users of the software measures, but it will have to be understood by those who de ne, validate, and provide tool support for the measures. It is this foundation which we are introducing in this paper. Research is supported in part by NATO Collaborative Research Grant 034/88.
