Abstract

The following paper describes our approach for characterizing software measurement in a holistic manner. Therefore software measurement was defined as a system including all aspects of software measurement, evaluation, estimation and exploration. First of all, we define these components of software measurement considering the different levels of each component in order to classify the different levels of the software measurement itself. First examples have shown the appropriateness of this approach for paradigm related measurement comparisons and improvements. In this paper, we extend our modelling approach and demonstrate the meaningfulness of comparing software measurement practices for different standards and process improvement approaches. These examples help for identifying essential key areas for measurement improvement as basics of quality assurance.
