Project idea motivation

The demand for cost-effectiveness and higher quality is

increasing due to the competition in software industry and

complexity of the developed systems.

- Due to the modern iterative development practices and new tools

& methods the traditional metrics and evaluation methods are not

sufficient anymore.

- To allow continuous monitoring and improvement, the

measurement has to be automated and integrated into the

process & tooling landscape.

The project will define new metrics, methods and tools for

measuring the effectiveness and efficiency of industrial

software engineering processes and will provide cross

metrics feedback.

MEASURE

In order to provide a standard way to model metrics and as a

common interchange format to allow interoperability between

existing tools and their respective models, MEASURE ITEA 3

project selected the Object Management Group, Inc.’s Structured

Metrics Meta-Model (SMM)

MEASURE

alessandra.bagnato@softeam.fr

Most software system properties can be quantified with the

application measurement processes.

OMG's Structured Metrics Meta-Model (SMM) supports the

meta-model agnostic definition of those measurement

processes.

The first building block of the MEASURE (Measuring Software

Engineering) project tool chain is the Modelio modeling tool

enabled with the SMM Module developed based in Modelio's

open source distribution to allow the specification of metrics and

a common interchange format to allow interoperability between

the project’s tools.

MEASURE

SMM Square example

The area of a square as a function of the length of its sides.

For that, it defines two metamodel concepts Side and Square.

It then defines a direct measurement measure Side Length as

a measure of the Size of a Side, and then, the binary measure

Area of Square, measuring the Area of a Square as a product

of the measured lengths of the sides of the sqare.

MEASURE

Energy Efficiency Index example

This example defines the Energy Efficiency Index of

refrigerating devices according to its power consumption. It is

based on a statistical distribution of codes on energy efficiency

classes from A to F based on their power consumption.

Conclusions

MEASURE project implemented the OMG’s SMM module into

the modelling tool Modelio produced by the French company

Softeam Cadextan

This implementation allowed to model first measures in the

MEASURE project and allowed to set the SMM specification as

a common interchange format to guarantee interoperability

between MEASURE project’s tools and their respective

models.
