    The document discusses the Goal-Question-Metric (GQM) technique for identifying meaningful metrics for measurement processes. GQM involves defining goals, questions to refine each goal, and metrics to answer the questions. It provides templates for defining goals and examples of using GQM to increase productivity and decrease development time by identifying appropriate metrics.

    Choosing Metrics

    Goal-Question-Metric (GQM) has been


    proposed by Basili and Weiss

    It is a technique to identify meaningful


    metrics for the measurement process

    You may want to use the GQM method


    to choose the appropriate metric
    GQM Overview

    Questions are formulated


    based on a more abstract goal
    Metrics are chosen to answer
    each question
    GQM emphasizes the need to
    Establish an explicit measurement goal
    Define a set of questions to achieve the goal
    Identify metrics to answer the questions
    The GQM Method

    Goals
    They define what the
    organization wants to improve
    Questions
    They refine each goal to
    a more quantifiable way
    Metrics
    They indicate the metrics
    required to answer each question

    Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q5

    M1 M2 M3 M4
    Example of Use (1)

    Goal
    Increase productivity
    Questions
    What are productivity bottlenecks?
    How can we increase the
    amount of code we produce?
    Metrics
    Current lines of code (LOC)
    per developer
    Example of Use (2)

    Goal
    Decrease development time
    Questions
    What are the bottlenecks?
    How to decrease specification time?
    Metrics
    Time required for requirements
    Time required for modeling
    Goal Definition Template

    Analyze {the name of activity or attribute}


    for the purpose of {overall goal}
    with respect to {the aspect to be considered}
    from the viewpoint of {interested people}
    in the context of {environment}
    Example of Goal

    Analyze the Health Watcher software


    architecture for the purpose of evaluating
    architectural components with respect to
    the ability to make Heath Watcher more
    extensible from the viewpoint of the
    software architects performing the work in
    the context of product enhancement over
    the next three years.
    Examples of Questions

    Q1: Are architectural components


    characterized in a manner that
    modularizes function and related data?

    Q2: Is the complexity of each


    component within bounds that will
    facilitate modification and extension?
    Examples of Metrics

    To answer Q1
    Coupling metrics
    Cohesion metrics

    To answer Q2
    Component size
    Interface complexity
