Metrics Attributez

Question 1

It should be relatively easy to learn how to derive the metric, and its computation should not demand excessive amount of effort or time

Answer 1

Question 2

The metric should satisfy the engineer’s intuitive notions about
the product attribute under consideration

Answer 2

Empirically and intuitively persuasive

Question 3

The metric should always yield results that are unambiguous

Answer 3

Consistent and objective

Question 4

The mathematical computation of the metric should use measures that do not lead to bizarre combinations of unit.

Answer 4

Consistent in it’s use of units and dimensions

Question 5

Metrics should be based on the analysis model, the design model, or the structure of the program itself.

Answer 5

Programming language independent

Question 6

That is, the metric should provide a software engineer with information that can lead to a higher quality end product

Answer 6

Effective mechanism for quality feedback
