Abstract: Abstract Computer science and software engineering have no precise, well understood, standardized and accepted metrics. In this paper problems in obtaining software metrics will be discussed, and the relationship to statistics will be emphasized. Important advances in software metrics could come about thru the synergystic relationship between statistics and software engineering. A significant challenge to software metrics researchers is to stay within the traditional scientific paradigm of hypothesis, evaluation, criticism and review in the face of intense demands for software metrics.
