Abstract

The nature of “software quality” and some software metrics are defined and their relationship to traditional software indicators such as “maintainability” and “reliability” are suggested. Recent work in the field is summarized and an outlook for software metrics in quality assurance is provided. The material was originally presented as a tutorial at the “ACM SIGMETRICS Workshop/Symposium on Measurement and Evaluation of Software Quality” on March 25, 1981.
