In this section, we describe the theory behind design measurement -
what are the structural properties of a design and why can design
metrics be considered quality indicators. We also discuss how design
measurement data can be interpreted, how it should not be interpreted,
and provide pointers to some useful data analysis techniques in the
context of software design measurement.
