Explain 'Software metrics'?

Answer Posted / ravikanth.m

Measurement is fundamental to any engineering discipline
Why Metrics?
- We cannot control what we cannot measure!
- Metrics helps to measure quality
- Serves as dash-board

The main metrices are :size,shedule,defects.
In this there are main sub metrices.

Test Coverage = Number of units (KLOC/FP) tested / total
size of the system
Test cost (in %) = Cost of testing / total cost *100
Cost to locate defect = Cost of testing / the number of
defects located
Defects detected in testing (in %) = Defects detected in
testing / total system defects*100
Acceptance criteria tested = Acceptance criteria tested /
total acceptance criteria
