Attribute-Based Model of Software Size
Lem O. Ejiogu · Deutscher Universitätsverlag eBooks · 1999
Although many practitioners continue to expound KLOCs as a metric of software size, the popular consensus is that it does not address the well-known problems of software management: analysis, design, testing, maintenance, documentaion; and software certification. A principled approach built on sound theoretical foundation is critical for measuring software size. Every science has an underlying body of principles. The measurement of software size can greatly benefit from a formal component theory. One such methodology is briefly introduced below. Because of space, the reader is referred to [1, 2] for its rich feedback effects and sample worked examples. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
