摘要
We as a group-called the Grubstake Group-are convinced that software measures are essential for "controlling" software. Thus, we are dedicated to producing an environment in which software measures can be confidently used by software managers and programmers. However, we are also convinced that such an environment can only be created if there exists a formal and rigorous foundation for software measurement. This foundation will not have to be understood by the users of the software measures, but it will have to be understood by those who define, validate, and provide tool support for the measures. It is this foundation that we are introducing in this article. © 1990.
