Abstract

International Organization for Standardization (ISO)/International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 80000, the International System of Quantities, collects and organizes the most important physical quantities into a coherent system of quantities whose foundation for measurements is the International System of Units (SI). This short communication outlines a report that, in a similar fashion, collects and organizes the most important quantities used in measurements performed on software artifacts, focusing on software as a product rather than its development process.
