Abstract

This paper is the reply to the paper "Erhard Konrad: Application of Measurement Theory to Software Metrics - Comments on the Bollmann-Zuse Approach" which is also published in this issue (November 92) of SlGPLAN Notices. Konrad is criticizing our approach: "Horst Zuse; Peter Bollmann: Using Measurement Theory to Describe the Properties and Scales of Software Complexity Metrics", which was published in SlGPLAN Notices (8)89. Konrad criticized the first time our paper in SIGPLAN Notices in March 1991. We replied in SlGPLAN Notices May 1991 to this criticism. In this issue (November 1992) Konrad imputes again that we have failed to achieve our goals of refuting his criticism. We will show that Konrad has a totally different view of established concepts of measurement theory as treated by Roberts, Krantz, Luce, Suppes and Tversky.
