Modeling OMG SMM metrics using the Modelio modeling tool in the MEASURE project
Résumé
Most software system properties can be quantified with the application of measurement processes. OMG's Structured Metrics Meta-Model (SMM) supports the meta-model agnostic method to define these measurements. This paper introduces the first building block of the MEASURE (Measuring Software Engineering) [5] project tool chain: the Modelio modeling tool together with the SMM Module developed based in Modelio's open source distribution. These tools permit the formal specification of metrics and a common interchange format enabling interoperability between the project's tools. This paper presents this new approach of metrics specification that simplifies their combination and their integration into compliant platforms and tools
