Swedsoft seminar: Succeeding with large scale software development measurement programs

Engineers and scientists love to measure. We measure complexity of software, its performance, size and maintainability (just to name a few). We need these measurements in order to construct software, manage organizations or release high quality, high reliable products. However, there is a difference between measuring software aspects and using the measures in decision processes. In this talk, we present the concept of measurement program, measurement system, information quality and indicator-triggered decisions. We show what to consider when setting up measurement programs and provide a hints about the costs and benefits of having the program. We end the talk with presenting recent research results from Software Center, where we combine measurements and machine learning to speed-up software development.

Speakers:

• Miroslaw Staron, Professor in Software Engineering at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Chalmers and University of Gothenburg.
• Wilhelm Meding, Quality Manager, Ericsson.
