Metrics Are Needed for Collaborative Software Development
نویسندگان
چکیده
There is a need for metrics for inter-organizational collaborative software development projects, encompassing management and technical concerns. In particular, metrics are needed that are aimed at the collaborative aspect itself, such as readiness for collaboration, the quality and/or the costs and benefits of collaboration in a specific ongoing project. We suggest questions and directions for such metrics, spanning the full lifespan of a collaborative project, from considering the suitability of collaboration through evaluating ongoing projects to final evaluation of the collaboration.

متن کاملA New Suite of Metrics for the Integration of Software Components
In this paper we propose two sets of metrics to measure complexity and criticality of large software systems designed and integrated using the principles of Component Based Software Engineering (CBSE). From the Component Interface Definition Language (CIDL) specification [32], we derive two suites of complexity metrics, namely, Component Packing Density (CPD) metrics and Component Interaction D...
