S. Morasca et al., TOWARDS A FRAMEWORK FOR SOFTWARE MEASUREMENT VALIDATION - COMMENTS, IEEE transactions on software engineering, 23(3), 1997, pp. 187-188
A view of software measurement that disagrees with the model presented
in a recent paper by Kitchenham, Pfleeger, and Fenton, is given. Wher
eas Kitchenham, Pfleeger, and Fenton argue that properties used to def
ine measures should not constrain the scale type of measures, we conte
nd that that is an inappropriate restriction. In addition, a misinterp
retation of Weyuker's properties is noted.
