Abstract

This research effort was directed to the development of a standard set of software indicators to be used by ASC. The research was sponsored by ASC/ENASC, who indicated their desire for such a standard set of indicators to allow a database to be developed of program data that would be useful in making predictions about future software efforts. The research began with an attempt to characterize the software indicator environment at ASC, and also to perform a literature search for software indicators currently available. The desired result was an initial core set of indicators useful to software managers and engineers and to ENASC and also a methodology for the continuous refinement of the set of indicators as part of a process to better define the software indicator environment. Thirty-four interviews were done on software managers and engineers and the results showed some common areas of interest and some unique interests for managers and some for engineers.
