Motorola:

Motorola's software metrics program is well articulated by Daskalantonakis (1992). By following the Goal/Question/Metric paradigm of Basili and Weiss (1984), goals were identified, questions were formulated in quantifiable terms, and metrics were established. The goals and measurement areas identified by the Motorola Quality Policy for Software Development (QPSD) are listed in the following.

Goals

· Goal 1: Improve project planning.

· Goal 2: Increase defect containment.

· Goal 3: Increase software reliability.

· Goal 4: Decrease software defect density.

· Goal 5: Improve customer service.

· Goal 6: Reduce the cost of nonconformance.

· Goal 7: Increase software productivity.
