Abstract

While a great deal is known about technical issues of data gathering and applied statistics, less is known about what it takes to implement a successful software measurement program. Indeed, a good deal of anecdotal evidence suggests that such efforts often fail. In this paper, we report the initial results from a large-scale survey of practitioners and users of software measurement programs. A preliminary multivariate analysis examines differences in the use of software measurement results in organizational decision making. Three variables (alignment with intended users, management commitment and use of analytic methods) account for two thirds of the observed variance.
软件测量程序成功的决定因素:初始结果
虽然我们对数据收集和应用统计的技术问题有很多了解,但对实现一个成功的软件度量程序所需要的了解却很少。事实上,大量的轶事证据表明,这样的努力往往会失败。在本文中,我们报告了对软件测量程序的实践者和用户进行大规模调查的初步结果。初步的多变量分析检验了在组织决策中使用软件测量结果的差异。三个变量(与预期用户的一致性、管理承诺和分析方法的使用)占观察到的方差的三分之二。
