Abstract

This paper discusses software metrics as a subject area, and in particular the way it has been growing in popularity and also expanding in scope over recent years. Talk of measurement in various guises is now common-place in mainstream software engineering conferences and periodicals. However, the growth in scope is leading to a lack of focus. There is a danger of losing sight of the original motivation for measurement, which was the desire to move software production nearer towards being a true engineering activity.
