1. Towards  a  Catalog  Format  for   So1ware  Metrics   Eric  Bouwers,  Arie  van  Deursen,  Joost  Visser     Presented  at  the  5th  InternaDonal   Workshop  on  Emerging  Trends  in   So1ware  Metrics  (WeTSOM  2014)   held  at  ICSE  2014,  Hyderabad,  India  
2. 2   www.sig.eu   Collect  detailed  technical  findings   about  so1ware-­‐intensive  systems   Translate  into  ac.onable  informa.on   for  high-­‐level  management   Using  methods  from  academic  and   self-­‐funded  research  
3. Metrics  in  Context:     So#ware  Risk  Assessments   3   ICSM   2009  
4. 4   Metrics  in  Context:   ConDnuous  Monitoring  &  RaDng  
6. Ten  QuesDons  to  Ask     when  EvaluaDng  a  Metric   1.  Purpose?   2.  Scope?   3.  Which  a]ribute?   4.  Scale  of  a]ribute?   5.  Variability  of   a]ribute?   6.  Metric  definiDon?   7.  Scale  of  Metric?   8.  Variability  of   instrument  for  metric?   9.  RelaDon  a]ribute  and   metric  value?   10. Natural  /  foreseeable   side  effects  of  use?  
7. Proposed  Catalog  Format  for     So1ware  Metrics  
8. Implemented  via   SemanDc  Media  Wiki  
9. Example:  Lines  of  Code  for  Volume  
10. Example:   Lines  of  Code  
11. Example:   DuplicaDon  %  
12. Example:   Coverage  %  
14. Discussion  &  Outlook   •  What  do  we  need  to  know  about  a  metric  to   make  an  informed  adopDon  decision?   – Context,  related  metrics,  validaDon   •  SemanDc  wiki  to  collect  such  informaDon   •  We’re  using  it  –  so  can  you!   h]p://so1waremetrics.referata.com/wiki/Main_Page
