Solution

Correct Answer: (iii) number of lines of code

Explanation

Size-oriented metrics:

  • Developed based on LOC - e.g., Errors/KLOC, Defects/KLOC, Cost/LOC, Docs pages/KLOC
  • Proposed by early SE measurement.

Contrast:

  • Function-oriented metrics = based on Function Points (number of functions, inputs, outputs, inquiries - Albrecht) → (i) & (ii) are function-point related, not size-oriented.
  • Memory usage (iv) is performance metric, not size-oriented.

Answer: (iii) number of lines of code
