Software Quality Metrics Enhancements. Volume 1

Abstract

Software metrics (or measurements) which predict software quality have been refined and enhanced. Metrics were classified as anomaly-detecting metrics which identify deficiencies in documentation or source code, predictive metrics which measure the logic of the design and implementation, and acceptance metrics which are applied to the end product to assess compliance with requirements. A Software Quality Measurement Manual was produced which contained procedures and guidelines for assisting software system developers in setting quality goals, applying metrics and making quality assessments.
