ABSTRACT

Software Engineering like all other engineering professions has metrics and Software metrics are increasingly playing a central role in the planning and control of software development projects [2]. A software metric is a measure of some property of a piece of software or its specifications. These can be used to take meaningful and useful managerial and technical decisions related to cost, effort, time. Although the use of metric doesn’t ensure the quality of a product but it can help in improving its quality. By analyzing the various research works, it is observed that the major work is either being done in comparing the metrics by applying it to various different projects or is in creating a new metric, which is the blend of former metrics, but nothing has been done to improve the metrics itself. This research will help the current organizations to improve the metric performance by analyzing the factors deduced in this research work.
