Abstract
This work starts from the analysis of the Office Automation (OA) phenomenon, stressing the growing importance for management to have tools at its disposal for productivity measurement of company resources, in particular of software. The work offers a general purpose model that suitably mixes the quantitive approach to software measurement, considering the three distinctive but connected areas of interest, each of them represents a company dimension: economic dimension, the perspective is the management's viewpoint, that will choose the most suitable economic indexes (i.e. training and maintenance costs); social dimension, the perspective is the users' viewpoint; in particular through a statistical analysis we demonstrate a high level of the acceptability and understanding of a software; technical dimension, the perspective is the developers' viewpoint; in particular we adopt the Function Point Analysis; to the qualitative one, that matches the ISO/IEC 9126 standard, expressed by a ''quality factor''.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
