Measurement system analysis for Motorola global software group Malaysia

As measurement of software metrics gradually became a vital process in software engineering, the measurement-derived information has been heavily used as an important source to support decision-making. The reliability of the derived information is subject to the variations in the measurement syst...

This project is to study the existing measurement system adopted by GSG Malaysia to identify the sources of variations and root causes in the system, as well as to improve the measurement system by reducing the variation errors in the measurement mechanisms.
