ISO/IEC 5055:2021

Information technology — Software measurement — Software quality measurement — Automated source code quality measures

Standard Details

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 StandardDetails for these measures at the source code level is important because they have been used in outsourcing and system development contracts without having international StandardDetails to reference. For instance, the ISO/IEC 25000 series of StandardDetails that govern software product quality provide only a small set of measures at the source code level.

A primary objective of updating these measures was to extend their applicability to embedded software, which is especially important for the growing implementation of embedded devices and the Internet of Things. Functionality that has traditionally been implemented in IT applications is now being moved to embedded chips. Since the weaknesses included in the measures specified in this document have been found to be applicable to all forms of software, embedded software is not treated separately in this specification.
