e. In software engineering and development, a software metric is a standard of measure of a degree to which a software system or process possesses some property. [1][2] Even if a metric is not a measurement (metrics are functions, while measurements are the numbers obtained by the application of metrics), often the two terms are used as synonyms.
v. t. e. Software measurement is a quantified attribute (see also: measurement) of a characteristic of a software product or the software process. It is a discipline within software engineering. The process of software measurement is defined and governed by ISO Standard ISO 15939 (software measurement process).
Source lines of code. Source lines of code (SLOC), also known as lines of code (LOC), is a software metric used to measure the size of a computer program by counting the number of lines in the text of the program's source code. SLOC is typically used to predict the amount of effort that will be required to develop a program, as well as to ...
The Capability Maturity Model (CMM) is a development model created in 1986 after a study of data collected from organizations that contracted with the U.S. Department of Defense, who funded the research. The term "maturity" relates to the degree of formality and optimization of processes, from ad hoc practices, to formally defined steps, to ...
In the context of software engineering, software quality refers to two related but distinct notions: [citation needed] Software's functional quality reflects how well it complies with or conforms to a given design, based on functional requirements or specifications. [1] That attribute can also be described as the fitness for the purpose of a ...
Reliability, availability and serviceability. Reliability, availability and serviceability (RAS), also known as reliability, availability, and maintainability (RAM), is a computer hardware engineering term involving reliability engineering, high availability, and serviceability design. The phrase was originally used by IBM as a term to describe ...
Coupling (computer programming) In software engineering, coupling is the degree of interdependence between software modules; a measure of how closely connected two routines or modules are; [1] the strength of the relationships between modules. [2] Coupling is not binary but it is multi-dimensional. [3] Coupling is usually contrasted with cohesion.
Site reliability engineering. Site reliability engineering (SRE) is a set of principles and practices that applies aspects of software engineering to IT infrastructure and operations. [1] SRE aims to create highly reliable and scalable IT systems. Although they are closely related, SRE is slightly different from DevOps. [2][3][4]
