Software measurement body of knowledge - initial validation using Vincenti's classification of engineering knowledge types
Alain Abran, Luigi Buglione, Asma Sellami · 2004
The Guide to the SWEBOK (2001 Trial version) currently contains ten distinct software engineering Knowledge Areas (KAs) and three common themes: Quality, Tools and Measurement. The Measurement topic is pervasive throughout all the KAs (in both the 2001 and 2004 editions). An initial taxonomy for a new specific KA on Software Measurement had been proposed in 2003. To improve this initial proposal, the Vincenti classification of engineering knowledge types was used as an analytical tool. This paper presents a revised breakdown for a body of knowledge on Software Measurement.
