Abstract
The year 2000 problem (Y2K) is “not just a technical problem, it is a worldwide business problem affecting people and organizations everywhere” [1]. The complexity of this problem and its solution can be resolved succesfully only on a measurement-based software development or maintenance environment.
In this paper we analyse the “measurement situation” on the Y2K area and consider the possibilities of the application of the existing results on the field of software measurement. In order to present the measurement aspects in a systematic manner, we use our measurement framework that leeds to a persistent metrics program in a given software development or application environent.
