Standard Metrics
Standard Metrics refer to established, widely accepted quantitative measures used to evaluate performance, quality, or progress in software development and other technical domains. They provide objective data for tracking key indicators like code quality, system reliability, and team productivity. Common examples include lines of code, defect density, mean time to recovery, and code coverage.
Developers should learn and use Standard Metrics to make data-driven decisions, improve software quality, and communicate progress effectively to stakeholders. They are essential for identifying bottlenecks in development processes, setting realistic goals, and ensuring compliance with industry best practices in areas like DevOps, agile methodologies, and performance optimization.
