Abstract

Based on the authors' 43 years of combined experience in industry, this paper describes a number of ways to ensure a metrics programme is considered successful. Experiences of a number of industries provide lessons on the planning of a metrics programme, the motivation of employees collecting the metrics, embedding metrics collection into everyday processes, presenting the metrics in financial terms and using metrics that already exist. It is acknowledged that metrics collected in industry can prove very little, but they are useful if used with other data or as a pointer for further investigations. The lessons learned from these experiences form guidelines which, if followed, should give valuable assistance in achieving a successful software metrics programme.
迈向一个成功的软件度量程序
基于作者43年的行业综合经验,本文描述了许多确保度量程序被认为是成功的方法。许多行业的经验为我们提供了以下方面的经验:指标计划的规划、员工收集指标的动机、将指标收集嵌入到日常流程中、以财务术语呈现指标以及使用已有的指标。众所周知,在工业中收集的指标几乎不能证明什么,但如果与其他数据一起使用或作为进一步调查的指针,它们是有用的。从这些经验中吸取的教训形成了指导方针,如果遵循这些指导方针,将为实现成功的软件度量方案提供有价值的帮助。
