Software metrics

Code coverage is a measure used in software testing. It describes the degree to which the source code of a program has been tested. It is distinct from black box testing methods because it looks at the code directly, rather than other measures such as software functions or object interfaces. ...more on Wikipedia about "Code coverage"

Cyclomatic complexity is a software metric (measurement) concept in computational complexity theory. It was developed by Thomas McCabe and is used to generally measure the complexity of a program. It directly measures the number of linearly independent paths through a program's source code. ...more on Wikipedia about "Cyclomatic complexity"

Function point analysis (FPA) is a method used to gauge the size and complexity of computer software, employing a function point as a unit of measure. Function points are a unit measure for software size, much like an hour is to measuring time, miles are to measuring distance or degrees Celsius are to measuring temperature. ...more on Wikipedia about "Function point analysis"

Short for thousands (kilo) of lines of code, KLOC is a software metric of the size of computer programs. See Source lines of code. ...more on Wikipedia about "KLOC"

A software metric is a measure of some property of a piece of software or its specifications. ...more on Wikipedia about "Software metric"
