Question

Which design matric is used to measure the compactness of the program in terms of lines of code?

• A. Consistency
• B. Conciseness
• C. Efficiency
• D. Accuracy

Answer 1

Should be efficiency metric.refer to this:

McCall's Software Metrics - (Subjective)

• Auditability - The ease with which conformance to standards can be checked.
• Accuracy - The precision of computations and control.
• Communication commonality - The degree to which standard interfaces, protocols, and bandwidth are used.
• Completeness - The degree to which full implementation of required function has been achieved.
• Conciseness - The compactness of the program in terms of lines of code.
• Consistency - The use of uniform design and documentation techniques throughout the software development project.
• Data commonality - The use of standard data structures and types throughout the program.
• Error tolerance - The damage that occurs when the program encounters an error.
• Execution efficiency - The run-time performance of a program.
• Expandability - The degree to which architectural, data, or procedural design can be extended.
• Generality - The breadth of potential application of program components.
• Hardware independence - The degree to which the software is decoupled from the hardware on which it operates.
• Instrumentation - The degree to which the program monitors its own operation and identifies errors that do occur.
• Modularity - The functional independence (Chapter 13) of program components.
• Operability - The ease of operation of a program.
• Security - The availability of mechanisms that control or protect programs and data.
• Self-documentation - The degree to which the source code provides meaningful documentation.
• Simplicity - The degree to which a program can be understood without difficulty.
• Software system independence - The degree to which the program is independent of nonstandard programming language features, operating system characteristics, and other environmental constraints.
• Traceability - The ability to trace a design representation or actual program component back to requirements.
• Training - The degree to which the software assists in enabling new users to apply the system.

Comments

It should be conciseness according to your explanation. correct me if am wrong.

• Conciseness - The compactness of the program in terms of lines of code.
