Rasha Gaffer M. Helali · IJARCCE · 2015
Software metrics are quantitative estimates for software product attributes which guide us in taking managerial and technical decisions [1].The current used software metrics depend on syntactical attributes of source code at the same time they ignore its semantic aspects.This fact motivates us to focus on semantic metrics instead of traditional used metrics.Moreover, semantic metric are more precise than syntactic ones, it is able to capture the semantic defects of the software products.In this paper, the researcher has been made an attempt to survey of existing research on software metrics along with potential research challenges and opportunities.
