Horst Zuse · Deutscher Universitätsverlag eBooks · 1994
In this paper foundations of the validation of software measures are presented. Firstly, the Measure LOC is used to present the foundations of software measurement, the foundations of validation and prediction, secondly, the criteria for the validation of object-oriented software measures are discussed. For the Measure LOC it is shown that the Basic-COCOMO- Model is the only one function for prediction of an external variable, like costs of maintenance. Considering Object-Oriented Measures it is shown that the Basic-COCOMO-Model cannot be used.
