Technology Package for the Goal Question Metric Paradigm
Christiane M. Differding, Barbara Hoisl, Christopher M. Lott · 1996
This document offers a concise introduction to the Goal Question Metric Paradigm (GQM Paradigm), and surveys research on applying and extending the GQM Paradigm. We describe the GQM Paradigm in terms of its basic principles, techniques for structuring GQM-related documents, and methods for performing tasks of planning and implementing a measurement program based on GQM. We also survey prototype software tools that support applying the GQM Paradigm in various ways. An annotated bibliography lists sources that document experience gained while using the GQM Paradigm and offer in-depth information about the GQM Paradigm.
