ABSTRACT
From the discussion in Chapter 5, it is clear that there are many different software attributes that we can measure. We can, for example, measure
LOC
, Exec
,
Nodes
, etc. Knowledge of these specific attributes for a particular program module does us very little or no good. It is even more aggravated when we have these data on thousands of program modules. We easily come to the same conclusion as most people who have mindlessly measured code. So what? We have invested resources to acquire knowledge that we simply cannot put to good use.
