This paper reports on the first phase of an empirical
research project concerning methods to assess the
quality of the information in software measurement
products. Two measurement assessment instruments
are developed and deployed in order to generate two
sets of analyses and conclusions. These sets will be
subjected to an evaluation of their information quality
in phase two of the project. One assessment instrument
was based on AIMQ, a generic model of information
quality. The other instrument was developed by
targeting specific practices relating to software project
management and identifying requirements for
information support. Both assessment instruments
delivered data that could be used to identify
opportunities to improve measurement. The generic
instrument is cheap to acquire and deploy, while the
targeted instrument requires more effort to build.
Conclusions about the relative merits of the methods,
in terms of their suitability for improvement purposes,
await the results from the second phase of the project.
