Understanding the results of measurements is a primaryissue for continuous software process improvement.Models provide support for better understandingmeasures. One of the problems often encountered indefining a measurement plan is its dimensions in terms ofgoals and metrics. This inevitably impacts on the usabilityof a measurement plan in terms of effort needed forinterpreting the measurement results and accuracy ofinterpretation itself. In this work the authors validate anapproach (Multiview Framework) for designing ameasurement plan, according to the GQM model, andstructured in order to improve usability. For this reasonan experiment was executed to validate the approach andprovide evidence that a GQM designed according to theMultiview Framework is more usable, and thatinterpretation depends from the collected measures and isindependent from who interprets them. In the experimentthe authors verify that a measurement plan designedaccording to the proposed model doesn't negativelyimpact on efficiency of interpretation. The experimentalresults are positive and encourage further replicationsand studies.
