Towards Reusable Measurement Patterns

Software measurement programs can help organizations make better decisions regarding their software projects. However, creating and establishing software measurement programs can be both costly and difficult. This paper addresses the problem by focusing on reusability of metrics for software measurement programs through the identification of measurement patterns. We illustrate our work with identifying measurement patterns by providing an extensive and detailed measurement example that is broken down into interdependent building blocks and activities.
