Validation of a Standard- and Metric-Based Software Quality Model : Creating the Prerequisites for Experimentation

Our long term research goal is to validate a standard- and metric-based software quality model. Today, ambiguous metric definitions lead to incomparable implementation variants in tools. Therefore, ...
