Ontology for Software Metrics and Indicators: Building Process and Decisions Taken

There are various useful ISO standards related to software quality models, measurement, and evaluation processes. However, we observe sometimes a lack of a sound consensus among the same terms in different documents or sometimes absent terms. In [7, 10], our ontology for software metrics and indicators was detailed. In this article, the process and decisions that have been taken during the construction of the ontology are highlighted.
