Towards a Metric Suite for Early Software Reliability Assessment

We are developing a suite of metrics for early assessment of software reliability and to provide feedback to the developer on the quality of their testing effort. The suite consists of easy-to-measure information collected from the source code and test programs. We are studying correlation between these metrics and the reliability of the developed software. The results of an initial case study demonstrate the feasibility of the approach. Metrics will be added to or deleted from the suite based on further validation work.
