Looking for metrics? There are over 8k metrics that can by used during software development( project management, static code analysis, execution). What are the best metrics? The newest ones? How about the ones that have withstand the test of time? Maybe it’s a popularity contest? Join me for a journey to Metrics : WHY, WHAT, HOW, WHEN, WHERE and WHOM.

“Code, Performance, PM metrics is a set of measures that
provide developers better insight into the code, software
and the process of developing it. They have become an
integral part of the software development process, and
there are several tools out there that provide an extended
set of numeric values, but what, how and why is being
measured?”

“What is not defined, cannot be measured.
What is not measured, cannot be improved.
What cannot be improved,
cannot continue to provide value.”

“When you measure what you are speaking about and
express it in numbers, you know something about it, but
when you cannot express it in numbers your knowledge
about it is of a meagre and unsatisfactory kind."

“tendency for positive impressions of a person, company,
brand or product in one area to positively influence one's
opinion or feelings in other areas”

Sampling bias
“sample is collected in such a way that some members of
the intended population have a lower sampling
probability than others. It results in a biased sample, a
non-random sample”
42. ixchelruiz
Insensitivity to sample size
“cognitive bias that occurs when people judge the
probability of obtaining a sample statistic without respect
to the sample size”

Correspondance bias
“tendency for people to under-emphasize situational
explanations for an individual's observed behavior while
over-emphasizing dispositional and personality-based
explanations for their behavior”

Blind spot bias
“cognitive bias of recognizing the impact of biases on the
judgment of others, while failing to see the impact of
biases on one's own judgment”
