EXPERIENCE WITH SOFTWARE MEASUREMENT TECHNOLOGY-TRANSFER

This paper describes the experience of Siemens AG in transferring technology associated with the application of software measurement to software development organizations. This experience was obtained as part of the Consortium working on the ESPRIT II PYRAMID Project. The paper describes some of the methods used for technology transfer. It summarizes the lessons learned about technology transfer as a result of the project. An approach is given to measure technology transfer exposure, and the Siemens results for the PYRAMID Project are given. The benefits to Siemens resulting from exploitation of PYRAMID Project results are summarized.
