Product and Process
Sample product metrics include
- Size: Lines of code, pages of documentation, number and size of test, token count, function count
- Complexity: Decision count, variable count, number of modules, size/volume, depth of nesting
- Reliability: Count of changes required by phase, count of discovered defects, defect density = number of defects/size, count of changed lines of code
Sample process metrics include
- Complexity: Time to design, code and test, defect discovery rate by phase, cost to develop, number of external interfaces, defect fix rate
- Methods and tool use: Number of tools used and why, project infrastructure tools, tools not used and why
- Resource metrics: Years experience ...
