This paper reports on thedevelopment and validation of an instrument for the collectionof empirical data on the establishment and conduct of softwaremeasurement programs. The instrument is distinguished by a novelemphasis on defining the context in which a software measurementprogram operates. This emphasis is perceived to be the key to1) generating knowledge about measurement programs that can begeneralised to various contexts, and, 2) supporting a contingencyapproach to the conduct of measurement programs. A pilot studyof thirteen measurement programs was carried out to trial theinstrument. Analysis of this data suggests that collecting observationsof software measurement programs with the instrument will leadto more complete knowledge of program success factors that willprovide assistance to practitioners in an area that has provednotoriously difficult.
