Abstract

An SCM database contains data which can be used as input for Soft-ware Metrics. Both data for Size-Oriented Metrics, and information for Process-Oriented Metrics are available from SCM systems. This paper describes mea-surements taken from an SCM database used at ABB Industrial Systems. The SCM tool is change-oriented and collects information about changes in Change Request (CR) documents. As CRs are under version control, the measurements taken on them give information not only about the amount and type of changes but also about the change process behavior. The measurements, generated from CRs by a tool, are used during the development process and in the final analysis of the project. The paper presents some of the measurements showing typical cases of lifecycle models.
