Rome Laboratory Research in Software Measurement

Announcing ...

A New Annotated Bibliography

Software engineering annotated bibliographies are available from the DACS. Eight volumes comprise our general bibliography and annotated bibliographies on specific topics are produced periodically. A new addition is our bibliography on Rome Laboratory's software measurement research. This bibliography was generated from a search of the DACS Software Engineering Bibliographic database for documents produced under sponsorship of the U.S. Air Force's Rome Laboratory (formerly Rome Air Development Center) in the software measurement area.

The bibliography, Rome Laboratory Research in Software Measurement contains citations and abstracts for 102 documents. A citation, keywords, and abstract are provided for each document in the bibliography. Keyword-In-Context (KWIC), keyword, and author indices are provided. A sample citation follows:

Volume I presents the features of the Quality Evaluation System (QUES). QUES is a tool which automates the process of establishing, maintaining, and applying a software quality evaluation framework. Features are illustrated with examples and reports generated by the tool. Main features include framework creation, framework tailoring, project creation and data collection. QUES will support analysis of Fortran and Ada code on a DEC VAX and analysis of Ada code on a SUN Sparc Station. Volume II summarizes the Rome Laboratory Software Quality Framework (RLSQF) as automated with the QUES tool. This volume upgrades the original RADC Software Quality Framework documented in 1985. The primary changes were improved objectivity of questions, improved ability to automate questions, improved applicability to Ada, and consistency with DoD-STD-2167A, lifecycle phases, and terminology.
