Software metrics supply data about different aspects of the software development process. The basic components of software development, i.e. process, product and resources characteristics, define individual application domains for software measurement and allow different measurement strategies. At the same time they serve as a starting-point for a detailed classification of software metrics ( [Basi86] , [Fent91] , [Zuse95] ).
- process metrics
