Software Process and Product Measurement (Mensura 2007, IWSM 2007)

Abstract

Agile Software Development Methods are nowadays wide spread and accepted. From the Software Measurement point-of-view not all metrics and methods from conventional lifecycle models can be used without adoption. Therefore this paper describes distinct metrics and their implementation into a measurement tool for quality management in agile software development. Taking a closer look to agile methods we observe that some of metrics and the tool itself can be used for measurement in traditional software development as well.
