Erfahrungen in der Anwendung eines allgemeinen objektorientierten Measurement Framework

  • Chapter
Software-Metriken

Part of the book series: Information Engineering und IV-Controlling ((IEIVC))

Zusammenfassung

Die Einfiihrung und Anwendung von Metrikenprogrammen in den verschiedensten Bereichen der Software-Entwicklung, -Wartung und -Anwendung ist heutzutage geprägt von

  • einem relativ weit verbreiteten Zertifizierungsniveau zur ISO-9000 in den IT-Bereichen mittlerer und großer Software-Herstellungs- und -anwendungsfirmen,

  • einer erhöhten Beachtung einer Prozeßverbesserung durch Assessments auf der Grundlage des Capability-Maturity-Modells (CMM), des SPICE-oder Bootstrap-Ansatzes,

  • einer zunehmenden Interessiertheit an Kosten- und Aufwandsschätzverfahren im Bereich der Software-Entwicklung, wie zum Beispiel zum Function-Point- Verfahren,

  • einer bereits erfolgreichen Anwendung von zielorientierten Bewertungsmethoden, wie beispielsweise das Goal-Question-Metric-Verfahren.

Wie geht es jedoch nach so einem erfolgreichen Ansatz weiter? Bedeutet die Anwendung von Metriken generell bereits eine im Sinne des CMM-Level vier erreichte quantitative Beherrschung des Software-Prozesses und vor allem der Software-Produkte?

Der folgende Beitrag widmet sich den in diesem Zusammenhang auftretenden Fragen nach dem wirklich erreichten „Meßniveau” bzw. nach den auf dem Gebiet der Software-Metriken offenen Fragestellungen und aktuellen Forschungsaufgaben. Er verwendet dabei ein bereits definiertes und erprobtes Measurement Framework — genannt CAME — welches aufzeigt, wie die objektorientierte Technologie selbst für den Software-Metrikeneinsatz verwendet werden kann.
