detaljnije:
The Software Engineering Laboratory (SEL) is an organization sponsored by the National
Aeronautics and Space Administration/Goddard Space Flight Center (NASA/GSFC) and created
to investigate the effectiveness of software engineering technologies when applied to the
development of applications software. The SEL was created in 1976 and has three primary
organizational members:
NASA/GSFC, Software Engineering Branch
University of Maryland, Department of Computer Science
Computer Sciences Corporation, Software Engineering Operation
The goals of the SEL are (1) to understand the software development process in the GSFC
environment; (2) to measure the effects of various methodologies, tools, and models on this
process; and (3) to identify and then to apply successful development practices. The activities,
findings, and recommendations of the SEL are recorded in the Software Engineering Laboratory
Series, a continuing series of reports that includes this document.
This Software Measurement Guidebook has also been released as NASA-GB-001-94, a product
of the Software Engineering Program established by the Office of Safety and Mission Assurance
(Code Q) at NASA Headquarters.
The following are primary contributors to this document:
Mitchell J. Bassman, Computer Sciences Corporation

This Software Measurement Guidebook presents information on the purpose and importance of
measurement. It discusses the specific procedures and activities of a measurement program and
the roles of the people involved. The guidebook also clarifies the role that measurement can and
must play in the goal of continual, sustained improvement for all software production and
maintenance efforts.
