چکیده

Metrics-programmes give powerful support to quality improvement of both software products and development processes. A well-known and popular software measurement approach is the Goal/Question/Metric method (GQM). This article presents a research road-map intended to enhance GQM. The main motive behind that presentation is that GQM will probably become the de-facto standard for software measurement. Nevertheless, many suggestions can be made to improve GQM. The Capability Maturity Model (CMM), which is intended to provide a framework to assess an organisation’s software development practice, is applied in this article to assess GQM. Our research objective is, of course, to bring GQM to CMM’s highest level 5.
