“…Since traceability is a property of measurement, and measurements made during the process of traceability are subject to error, a necessary condition for transparency involves comparing the data derived from the process of traceability to a standard or scale. According to Tim Ferris (Ferris 2004), "measurement is an empirical process, using an instrument, affecting a rigorous and objective mapping of an observable into a category in a model of the observable that meaningfully distinguishes the manifestation from other possible and distinguishable manifestations." That we are concerned about the validity of measurement and measurement quality testifies to the efficacy of traceability in a rigorous and trusted sense.…”

“…The robustness of the model is premised on a systematic reporting of all data that is essential to achieve the minimum economic loss. Accuracy refers to the agreement between a measurement, or observed manifestation, and the real manifestation (Sydenham 1976;Hoffmann 1983); and the notion there is a correct value of the manifestation that can be obtained, and further, that the correct value can be measured (Ferris 2004).…”

Verification of Requirements: System of Systems Theory, Framework, Formalisms, Validity

Building on the success of systems verification, a new approach and method were developed to improve verification of requirements for system of systems. Following the formal logic (mereology) of Leśniewski, an integrative framework was structured on ontology‐based artifacts built from objects and processes within the problem domain. Meta‐structures of systems and system of systems artifacts were extracted to form a model of verification to a system of systems and its constituent systems.

“…Ferris has introduced a definition of software measurement [1] as "Measurement is an empirical process, using an instrument, effecting a rigorous and objective mapping of an observable into a category in a model of the observable that meaningfully distinguishes the manifestation from other possible and distinguishable manifestations". This definition allows us to identify such objects according to defined rules.…”

Towards a new framework of program quality measurement based on programming language standards

All languages, natural and programming, have rules and styles in how to write. These rules and styles mainly aim to make sure that anyone, who understand a language, can understand what the sentence say. In other words, the aim of rules and styles in a language is to deliver an information to reader, and the reader must get the right information. The literature review shows a lack of studies focusing on the code writing standards measurement processes. In this paper, we proposed a framework that can be applied on any programming language, using any standard of that language.

“…Measurement is an empirical process, using an instrument, effecting a rigorous and objective mapping of an observable into a category in a model of the observable that meaningfully distinguishes the manifestation from other possible and distinguishable manifestations (Ferris 2004;107). This definition of measurement was built on earlier work in the development of an Object Oriented Model of Measurement, OOMM, which presented some fresh philosophical insights into the nature of the process of measurement in general, and in particular emphasizing the importance of the matter of a model of the observed (Ferris 1997).…”

4.3.3 Systems Engineering Measurement Primer – A Metrological Evaluation

The paper presents the results of an investigation of the INCOSE Systems Engineering Measurement Primer from the framework of measurement theory. This approach to the Primer is outside the scope of the claims of the Primer, and so is not entirely fair to the authors of the Primer. This investigation is conducted in order to contribute to the development of measurement processes suitable for use in systems engineering and also to provide a theoretical framework for measurement of systems engineering processes.
