Software metrics are monitored to provide objective information about product quality, process performance, project progress, defect trends, productivity, reliability, maintainability, and customer satisfaction. The main organizational objective is not simply to collect data, but to use measurement results to improve both software products and development processes. Metrics help identify weak process areas, recurring defect sources, unstable requirements, ineffective reviews, and testing gaps. Ensuring programs work properly is mainly a testing objective. Limiting deviations may be one result of process control, but it is not the broad purpose of metrics. Measuring development effort is only one possible metric category. The strongest organizational objective achieved through software metrics monitoring is continual improvement of processes and products.
