ISO/IEC DIS 25000-23.2 - Measurement of product quality ISO25000-23-C: Annex C: Measurement data types used in product quality measures

What does ISO25000-23-C require?

Annex C names five measurement data types: count, time, ratio, percentage and statistical. The type decides how a result can be read and compared. The five types are the grammar of a quality measure. A count says how many; a time says how long; a ratio compares two quantities; a percentage expresses a proportion of a whole; a statistical type summarises a distribution. The choice is not cosmetic. A count cannot be averaged across products of different sizes, a percentage hides its denominator, a mean hides the tail, and a ratio of two ratios is a different claim from either. The annex is informative, but a team that ignores the type will produce reports that look precise and cannot be compared.
