Preface
The pressure for more efficient software development and maintenance processes,
delivering appropriate quality software within a certain budget and time frame, is
constantlyincreasing.Softwaremeasurementisakeytoolinhelpingtomanageandto
control software development and maintenance projects. Measurement is essential to
anyengineeringactivity,byincreasingthescientificandtechnicalknowledgeforboth
the practice of software development and maintenance and for empirical research in
softwaretechnology.Forthisreason,thereappearedaneedtoorganizeaforumwhere
new ideas from the world of academic research on software measurement could meet
up with practical improvements from industry.
The IWSM Mensura conference is the result of the joining of forces of the Inter-
national Workshop on Software Measurement (IWSM) and the International Confer-
ence on Software Process and Product Measurement (Mensura).
TheInternationalWorkshoponSoftwareMeasurement(IWSM)hasalongtradition
thatstartedatthebeginningofthe1990swithasmallworkinggroupinGermanywith
Prof.ReinerDumke,Prof.HorstZuse,andChristofEbert.Inthelate1990s,Prof.Alain
Abran with his team from the University of Québec joined in. From the beginning,
IWSMwasorganizedinvariousGermancities,andlater,until2006,IWSMalternated
between the Montréal area in Canada and German cities (e.g., Magdeburg, Berlin,
Regensburg, Mannheim, Königs Wusterhausen, and Potsdam).
Independent of the IWSM workshop, the International Conference on Software
Process and Product Measurement (Mensura) was founded in 2006 by Prof.
JuanJ.CuadradoGallegofromtheUniversityofAlcalá(Spain).Thefirstmeetingwas
held in Cádiz.
To foster research, practice, and exchange of experiences and best practices both
conferencesjoinedforcesandheldajointconferenceontheIslandofMallorca(2007).
Sincethen,bothconferenceshaveactedasacombinedconferenceandtheeventisnow
travelingaroundtheworld:Munich(Germany,2008),Amsterdam(Netherlands,2009),
Stuttgart (Germany, 2010), Nara (Japan, 2011), Assisi (Italy, 2012), Ankara (Turkey,
2013), and Rotterdam (Netherlands, 2014). This year, IWSM Mensura was organized
inCracow(Poland)bythePolishSoftwareMeasurementAssociationandtheWarsaw
School of Economics (SGH), the oldest and most prestigious Polish university of
economicsandbusiness.Thisyear,twoanniversariescoincided:itwasthe25thIWSM
and the 10th Mensura and the 9th joint conference IWSM Mensura.
This year, the IWSM Mensura conference attracted 32 submissions from 25
countries from all continents. They were rigorously reviewed by 68 members of the
Program Committee representing 26 countries. As a result, 13 full papers, presenting
novel research and industrial results, written by authors originating from 17 countries
were selected for publication in this volume.
Apart from the main conference, satellite events, i.e., workshops, sponsors’ pre-
sentations, and a poster session, took place during the conference.
