Abstract

This paper focuses on the Goal-Question-Metric (GQM) approach, which has been proposed as a goal-oriented approach for the measurement of products and processes in software engineering. First, the GQM is characterized, and then, the GQM-PLAN tool, is described. The GQM-PLAN was developed to support the preparation of measuring plans based on GQM.
