Even though I can find so many software metrics starting from "Number of Lines of Code", "Cyclomatic complexity" to "Coupling Between Objects" and "Maintainability Index" in the web, I couldn't find a good reference to apply them in a software development environment or how it actually helps in improving the quality of the work.

will the extra burden of measuring the software metrics paid off?

I'm getting an error when trying to compile this line (C), my compiler doesn't seem to be recognizing the previous declaration of "nRows, nCols":

void scalarMultiply (int nRows, int nCols, int matrix[nRows][nCols], int scalar);

Is there something wrong with it?

It's from a Stephen kochan's book, so I'm guessing it's got something to do with my compiler which is MinGW Developer Studio 2.05

What I am trying to do is create a .swf file that a person can download and open on their computer. Using Explorer or Netscape Navigator/FireFox, whatever have the .swf displayed and allow the user to create some kind of simple database to store locations to pictures etc. So the user pushes a button and it contacts a database of files and allows the user to select a file. I have been looking around and I see things on how to do it with asp scripts to talk to Access. I however would rather not assume the user has any special things, (Access, MySQL, etc.), beyond the usual browser. Can I do this? Just create some file so that it can store information in it for retrieval and editing?

Please help with any advice,

Thanks,

Brian

I've asked this question two times but no one seems to understand what I am trying to ask. Alright, I am trying to fix the layout of the worksheet, document page, word file, what ever you want to call it. I have no problems with the font, it's perfectly fine.

I am not asking how to change it or how to center the FONT, I know perfectly well how to center the FONT by using the tool bar and highlighting the text I want centered, etc etc.

What I need to know how to do is how to center the actual page/paper itself. It is shifted to the left for some reason and it looks weird. Please help.

In PHP, I need to declare a variable and be able to use it inside a function. Is there any way I can do this? I tried "Global $myvar=0;" but i get the following error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '=', expecting ',' or ';' in C:\Program Files\EasyPHP 2.0b1\www\test.php on line 2

At least on the surface, TDD seems to require additional work, because you need to write tests, etc.. Presumably this work is justified because it saves work later on.

If someone told you the amount of work required to write tests wasn't justfified, as many newbies do, what would you tell them? Hopefully you wouldn't say to write lots of tests because everyone else does it, but rather because you have some evidence.

Can you cite any studies showing work savings?

Realistically, there are probably some cases where the amount of work is not justified, and others where it is completely justified. Obviously, the cost of any errors would have a strong impact on this, since some errors (imagine code controlling an airplane) are very expensive while others may have little cost.

Further, TDD becomes more useful as team size grows. That may or may not be enough to justify its use.

Besides citing any studies, what are the determining factors for making TDD worthwhile?
