Designing software is a highly technical field that demands being cautious about every step and decision. It aims at devising solution for IT (Information technology) problems. The subsets include both low-level constituents and algorithm usage issues. Also, the architectural aspects come into picture, when one is talking about constructing software. To successfully get over with this job, one needs to carry out a SRA (Software Requirements Analysis) to have the specifications about the software engineering.
The timely completion of these jobs that too within the given cost frame makes it compelling enough to dig a 'measurement strategy'.
Therefore, groups involved in such 'software structuring' subject frequently go with BSC (Balanced Scorecard) i.e. a collection of KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) to help impart 'quantitative' touch to the whole process.
By getting into the area of 'software designing' and coming up with factors (that have true affect on 'pace of things' in this path), one can create a beneficial set of indicators to count the steps.
However, extracting maximum benefits from this demands that only those indicators be selected that can actually reflect the progress of the area.
This is the actual scorecard with Software Design Performance Indicators and performance indicators. The performance indicators include: quality perspective, compatibility index, security and fault-bearing ratio, reliability claim meeting, other quality enhancing features, exception handling and operations perspective, exception failure fraction, number of run-time exceptions, number of manually created exceptions, number of operations, logical size and complexity perspective, sloc measure, average development time, cyclomatic complexity, blank line contribution, design efforts perspective, study, create, review, testing, correction.
