A software system is a collection of parts interacting with each other to function as a whole. The key word is interact. A software system is developed by people.
Since people are the major input used to develop software, understanding human behavior is essential to understanding the software development process. In short, what type of behavior is being encouraged or discouraged.
Benefits of Software Measurement

Many Disciplines
Software measurement includes many topics beyond the technical aspects
of developing and maintaining software. They include:
- Software Development
- Social Psychology
- Industrial Psychology
- Organizational Behavior
- Micro-economic theory
- Statistics
One thing we have learned by working around the globe and
with so many different organizations, it is seldom technical problems
that inhibit productivity and quality. Instead the far majority of problems
are related to human interactions, process and communications.
