Quality of the software measures proposed to the industry

Abstract:

There are currently available hundreds of software measures and quantitative models proposed to the practitioners for estimating software projects and measuring the quality of the software delivered. But how many software organizations have today in place software measurement programs and used these measures and models as a basis for decision-making? There must be then something at work that impairs the use of quantitative data for decision making in software-based organizations. Within the software community there is a presumption that the lack of use of software measures in industry is caused by the practitioners' and managers' resistance to change. This presentation is based on a different analysis: this lack of use of software measures by industry comes from the immaturity and unreliability of the measures themselves proposed to date to the industry [1].
