Abstract

The application of the spreadsheet software in the field of software measurement technology is disccussed. A model of metric's life cycle is defined and used together with the spreadsheet software to develop a new class of complexity metrics, called Hybrid metrics. Theirs evaluation has shown that they are supperior to most other complexity metrics in estimating development times and allocating testing resources. Finally, the spreadsheet and conventional programming are compared, and it is not unreasonable to state that spreadsheet better supports activities performd during metric's life cycle then conventional programming.
