The document discusses various metrics that can be used to measure different aspects of software quality. It describes McCall's quality factors triangle which identifies key attributes like correctness, reliability, efficiency etc. It then discusses different types of metrics like function-based metrics which measure functionality, design metrics which measure complexity, and class-oriented metrics which measure characteristics of object-oriented design like coupling and cohesion. The document provides examples of metrics that can measure code, interfaces, testing and more.

A software system continues to grow in size and complexity, it becomes increasing difficult to
understand and manage. Software metrics are units of software measurement. As improvement in coding tools
allow software developer to produce larger amount of software to meet ever expanding requirements. A method
to measure software product, process and project must be used. In this article, we first introduce the software
metrics including the definition of metrics and the history of this field. We aim at a comprehensive survey of the
metrics available for measuring attributes related to software entities. Some classical metrics such as Lines of
codes LOC, Halstead complexity metric (HCM), Function Point analysis and others are discussed and
analyzed. Then we bring up the complexity metrics methods, such as McCabe complexity metrics and object
oriented metrics(C&K method), with real world examples. The comparison and relationship of these metrics are
also presented.

Abstract
Lean Six Sigma projects and the quality engineering profession have to deal with an extensive selection of tools
most of them requiring specialized training. The increased availability of standard statistical software motivates the
use of advanced data science techniques to identify relationships between potential causes and project metrics. In
these circumstances, Symbolic Regression has received increased attention from researchers and practitioners to
uncover the intrinsic relationships hidden within complex data without requiring specialized training for its
implementation. The objective of this paper is to evaluate the advantages and drawbacks of using computer assisted
Symbolic Regression within the Analyze phase of a Lean Six Sigma project. An application of this approach in a
service industry project is also presented.

1. Introduction
Lean Six Sigma (LSS) has become a well-known hybrid methodology for quality and productivity improvement in
organizations. Its wide adoption in several industries has shaped Process Innovation and Operational Excellence
initiatives, enabling LSS to become a main topic in quality practitioner sites of interest [1], recognized Six Sigma
(SS) certification body of knowledge contents [2], and professional society conferences [3].
However LSS projects and the quality engineering profession have to deal with an extensive selection of tools most
of them requiring specialized training. To assist LSS practitioners it is common to categorize tools based on the
traditional DMAIC model which stands for Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control phases. Table 1
presents an overview of the main tools that are commonly used in each phase of a LSS project, allowing team
members to progressively develop an understanding between realizing each phase’s intent and how the selected
tools can contribute to that purpose.
This paper focuses on the Analyze phase where tools for statistical model building are most likely to be selected.
The increased availability of standard statistical software motivates the use of advanced data science techniques to
identify relationships between potential causes and project metrics. In these circumstances Symbolic Regression
(SR) has received increased attention from researchers and practitioners even though SR is still in an early stage of
commercial availability.
The objective of this paper is to evaluate the advantages and drawbacks o ...

Algorithm ExampleFor the following taskUse the random module .docxdaniahendric
Algorithm Example
For the following task:
Use the random module to write a number guessing game.
The number the computer chooses should change each time you run the program.
Repeatedly ask the user for a number. If the number is different from the computer's let the user know if they guessed too high or too low. If the number matches the computer's, the user wins.
Keep track of the number of tries it takes the user to guess it.
An appropriate algorithm might be:
Import the random module
Display a welcome message to the user
Choose a random number between 1 and 100
Get a guess from the user
Set a number of tries to 0
As long as their guess isn’t the number
Check if guess is lower than computer
If so, print a lower message.
Otherwise, is it higher?
If so, print a higher message.
Get another guess
Increment the tries
Repeat
When they guess the computer's number, display the number and their tries count
Notice that each line in the algorithm corresponds to roughly a line of code in Python, but there is no coding itself in the algorithm. Rather the algorithm lays out what needs to happen step by step to achieve the program.

I. INTRODUCTION
Object-oriented design and development are popular concepts in today’s software development
environment. They are often heralded as the silver bullet for solving software problems. While
in reality there is no silver bullet, object-oriented development has proved its value for systems
that must be maintained and modified. Object-oriented software development requires a
different approach from more traditional functional decomposition and data flow development
methods. This includes the software metrics used to evaluate object-oriented software.
The concepts of software metrics are well established, and many metrics relating to product
quality have been developed and used. With object-oriented analysis and design methodologies
gaining popularity, it is time to start investigating object-oriented metrics with respect to
software quality. We are interested in the answer to the following questions:
• What concepts and structures in object-oriented design affect the quality of the
software?
• Can traditional metrics measure the critical object-oriented structures?
• If so, are the threshold values for the metrics the same for object-oriented designs as for
functional/data designs?
• Which of the many new metrics found in the literature are useful to measure the critical
concepts of object-oriented structures?
II. METRIC EVALUATION CRITERIA
While metrics for the traditional functional decomposition and data analysis design appro ...
Decision Making Framework in e-Business Cloud Environment Using Software Metr...ijitjournal
Cloud computing technology is most important one in IT industry by enabling them to offer access to their
system and application services on payment type. As a result, more than a few enterprises with Facebook,
Microsoft, Google, and amazon have started offer to their clients. Quality software is most important one in
market competition in this paper presents a hybrid framework based on the goal/question/metric paradigm
to evaluate the quality and effectiveness of previous software goods in project, product and organizations
in a cloud computing environment. In our approach it support decision making in the area of project,
product and organization levels using Neural networks and three angular metrics i.e., project metrics,
product metrics, and organization metrics

3. A Comment McCall’s quality factors were proposed in the early 1970s. They are as valid today as they were in that time. It’s likely that software built to conform to these factors will exhibit high quality well into the 21st century, even if there are dramatic changes in technology.
