Factors in Software Quality. Volume 2. Metric Data Collection and Validation

Abstract

The objective of the study was to establish a concept of software quality and provide an Air Force acquisition manager with a mechanism to quantitatively specify and measure the desired level of quality in a software product. Software metrics provide the mechanism for the quantitative specification and measurement of quality. This second volume describes the application of the metrics to software products and the validation of the metrics' relationship to software quality.
