The measures in this standard were calculated from detecting and counting violations of good
architectural and coding practices in the source code that could result in unacceptable operational risks
or excessive costs. Establishing standards for these measures at the source code level is important
because they have been used in outsourcing and system development contracts without having
international standards to reference. For instance, the ISO/IEC 25000 series of standards that govern
software product quality provide only a small set of measures at the source code level.All current amendments available at time of purchase are included with the purchase of this document.
