Figure 3:The process of metrics validation |
| |
The process of metrics validation shown in Figure 3 is influenced by the relativity of the software development components:
- product or project relation (depending on the type of product/project)
- methodology relation (depending on the applied development methods and paradigms)
- basis software relation (depending on software and hardware platforms)
- team relation (depending on the team structure)
- company relation (depending on the management and marketing aspects)
- time relation (depending on the actuality of all software components such as documentation, program files etc.)
The multi-dimensional character of each measured component results in a specific development complexity:
