Abstract
Achieving gains in software quality requires both the use of software metrics and the desire to make measurement-driven process improvements. This paper describes the experiences, changes, and kinds of metrics used to drive quantifiable results in a very large and complex software system. Developers on the IBM Multiple Virtual Storage (MVS) operating system track, respond and initiate better ways of controlling the software development process through the use of metric-based defect models, orthogonal defect classification (ODC), and object-oriented techniques. Constant attention to progress with respect to the measurements and working toward goals based on the metrics show that measurement-driven process improvement can lead to noticeably better products.<>
在软件质量方面获得收益既需要使用软件度量标准,也需要进行度量驱动的过程改进。本文描述了在一个非常大且复杂的软件系统中用于驱动可量化结果的经验、变更和各种度量。IBM multi Virtual Storage (MVS)操作系统上的开发人员通过使用基于度量的缺陷模型、正交缺陷分类(ODC)和面向对象技术来跟踪、响应并启动更好的控制软件开发过程的方法。持续关注度量方面的进展,并朝着基于度量的目标努力,这表明度量驱动的过程改进可以显著地导致更好的产品。
