- c and d
E. c and d
5. Which of the following items are not measured by software project metrics?
- inputs
- markets
- outputs
- results
B. markets

A. True
7. Which of following are advantages of using LOC (lines of code) as a size-oriented metric?
- LOC is easily computed.
- LOC is a language dependent measure.
- LOC is a language independent measure.
- LOC can be computed before a design is completed.

- False
A. True
16. Why is it important to measure the process of software engineering and software it produces?
- It is really not necessary unless the project is extremely complex.
- To determine costs and allow a profit margin to be set.
