Abstract:

Software measurement is directly related to software production processes. Measurement programs should be flexible and easily adaptable to the features of each organization. Moreover, in the context of small software businesses, measurement should be feasible in spite of the lack of resources. In order to produce measurement systems that can be developed and that face the needs of the dynamic reality of small businesses, we propose the development of a meta-system that is capable of instantiating measurement systems that are suited to each organization. Our measurement systems are based upon the selection and customization of the data schemes and upon the definition and customization of reports. The meta-system that we will develop will be tested at INFOGENE, which is a software business incubator that is supported by the Pontifcia Universidade Catlica do Rio de Janeiro (PUC-RIO). The incubator offers plenty of useful situations for testing a measurement system's flexibility and adaptability. This meta-system should be able to integrate the measurements that are undertaken at the different organizations that are being incubated and it should also keep confidentiality. This meta-system should also give support to Software Engineering laboratories in order to facilitate experimental studies of measurement systems and of the application to products, tools, methods and development processes.
