Abstract—Based on GQM(Goal Question Metric) approach, this paper presents a new process-oriented metrics for software architecture adaptability. This method extends and improves the GQM method. It develops process-oriented processes for metrics modeling, introduces data and validation levels, adds structured description of metrics, and defines new indexes of metrics.

Index Terms—Goal Question Metric, software architecture, adaptability, metrics, Interval Analytic Hierarchy Process, Data Envelopment Analysis.
