Pitfalls of Software Metrics
Presented by:
Karen E. Mackey
Quality Systems Staff Engineer, Cisco Systems
Abstract
No matter what role you play in the software industry, you've undoubtedly had
to contend with software measurements of some sort: you may have to count your
lines of code or estimate how long your effort or team's effort will take,
count your defects or establish measurable goals for process improvement
efforts. Measuring software can be a huge challenge. We can't even see it, much
less whip out a ruler and measure it. There can be all sorts of pitfalls and
"gotchas" around software metrics from unintended consequences to misleading
results, from missed key measurements to disbelieved results. In this SPIN
meeting, Karen Mackey will make a presentation on the various pitfalls that
surround software metrics and lead a discussion on the topic. Feel free to
bring your software metrics stories with you to share.
