1.1 Purpose
The measures in this standard were calculated from detecting and counting violations
of good architectural and coding practices in the source code that could result in
unacceptable operational risks or excessive costs. Establishing standards for these
measures at the source code level is important because they have been used in outsourcing
and system development contracts without having international standards to reference.
For instance, the ISO/IEC 25000 series of standards that govern software product quality provide only a small set of measures at the source code level.
A primary objective of updating these measures was to extend their applicability to
embedded software, which is especially important for the growing implementation of
embedded devices and the Internet of Things. Functionality that has traditionally
been implemented in IT applications is now being moved to embedded chips. Since the
weaknesses included in the measures specified in this document have been found to be applicable
to all forms of software, embedded software is not treated separately in this specification.
