Streamlining Software Development in Enterprises: The Power of Metrics-Driven Development

Abstract

In today's fiercely competitive market, software companies must prioritize the activities in the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) to produce high-quality software and stay ahead of competitors. The exponential growth of Cloud computing enabled technologies has prompted companies to adapt their software development processes based on Cloud, as it offers instant access to essential resources. However, traditional software metrics-based approaches fall short when applied to Cloud computing-based software development. In order to address this challenge head-on, this paper presents an approach called Metrics-Driven Development (MDD) tailored specifically for enterprise Cloud development which is also known as full-stack development. In order to support informed decision-making in the age of Cloud computing, the main goal of this research is to evaluate the functionality and quality of software using several metrics. Furthermore, MDD plays a pivotal role in improving the software quality, performance, and efficiency within the realm of Cloud computing. Based on the empirical experiments and observation, it is evident that Metrics-Driven Development is an invaluable approach for enhancing efficiency and effectiveness in enterprise software development.
