TY - JOUR T1 - Comments on "Towards a framework for software measurement validation" JF - Software Engineering, IEEE Transactions on Y1 - 1997 A1 - Morasca,S. A1 - Briand,L.C. A1 - Basili, Victor R.

KW - measurement KW - metrics; KW - software KW - testing;program KW - validation;program KW - verification;software AB - A view of software measurement that disagrees with the model presented by Kitchenham, Pfleeger, and Fenton (1995), is given. Whereas Kitchenham et al. argue that properties used to define measures should not constrain the scale type of measures, the authors contend that that is an inappropriate restriction. In addition, a misinterpretation of Weyuker's (1988) properties is noted. VL - 23 SN - 0098-5589 CP - 3 M3 - 10.1109/32.585506 ER -
