The goal of the MEASURE (Measuring Software Engineering) project is to increase the quality and efficiency as well as reduce the costs and time-to-market of software engineering in Europe. By implementing a comprehensive set of tools for automated and continuous measurement, this project provides a toolset for future projects to properly measure their impact. More importantly, it opens a new field for innovation. The real innovation will be in the advanced analytics of the measurement data enabled by the project.

MEASURE
• To develop a platform, methods and tools for
measurement and analysis of the various phases of the
software development lifecycle
• To define new metrics needed in today’s industry context
and markets
• To validate the within the project case studies (
Bitdefender, DCNS and Softeam).
MEASURE Objectives

MEASURE
Project Challenges
▪ Formal description of metrics
▪ Specification without ambiguity
▪ Flexible to describe different types of metrics
▪ Modeling of measurement data
▪ Automatic process to check and deploys metrics
▪ Facilitating portability of metrics and measurements
▪ Introduction of tools to facilitate the monitoring and to be
integrated in the platform.
▪ Having a common language and platform facilitating the
creation of a database of metrics for better exploitation

MEASURE
Project Innovations
• Definition of new metrics (green metrics, code optimisation
metrics, complexity metrics, error density metrics) that enrich
software development lifecycle
• A common language, OMG Structured Metrics Metamodel
facilitates exchanges between different tools
• Methods for performing measurements in accordance with the
SMM standard
• New Measurement and Analysis tools to perform the needed
metrics calculations and the needed Analysis
• New algorithms to analyse big amout of measurements (big data
challenge)
• Everything integrated in a single platform

MEASURE some key results
▪ First design and implementation of the MEASURE platform
- Technologies: Angular JS, Spring MVC, Elasticsearch, Kibana
- Open source project available in Github
- Started implementation and integration of SMM
▪ Identification of measurements tools
- MMTS: Model Measurement Tool of Softeam (Softeam)
- The RIVER tool (Bitdefender/Univ Bucharest)
- FSMHSGen: FSM Homing Sequence Generator (IMT)
- MMT: Montimage Monitoring Tool (Montimage)
- EMIT: Energy Monitoring Toot (ICAM)
- More state of the art open source tools

MEASURE
MEASURE some key results
▪ Measures
- Repository of Measures implementations defined in SMM
(Structured Metrics Meta-model) format, an executable OMG
Standard which can be integrated to Measure Platform.
▪ https://github.com/ITEA3-Measure/Measures/wiki
▪ SMMMeasureApi
- API allowing to define SMM measures which can be deployed on
Measure Platform.
▪ https://github.com/ITEA3-Measure/SMMMeasureApi/wiki
▪ MeasurePlatform
- a web application which allow to collect , calculate , store and
visualize measurements by execution of measures defined in SMM
(Structured Metrics Metamodel)
▪ https://github.com/ITEA3-Measure/MeasurePlatform/wiki
