A Recommender Algorithm to Automatically Generate Metrics for GQM Models in Software Development

Software development is a wicked problem that has no formal criteria of solution correctness. For this reason, developers use goal-focused software metrics to estimate and improve the quality of the result. However, it is not an easy task to determine the minimal set of metrics that fits the goals. That is why this research presents the recommender system that automatically generates metrics for each question from the GQM model using multi-label classification.
