RESUMEN DE LA CONFERENCIA

‘Software Metrics’ has long been the dominant view about measurement in
the software community. It has led to hundreds of candidates measures
for all kinds of software characteristics.

But out of that diversity, which ones to choose and why?

This presentation will:

- present key highlights of the ‘metrics’ approach to software measurement,

- introduce classic measurement concepts from the metrology field and

- discuss how international standards are emerging in software measurement.
