Testing metrics - still a problem

My problem is not with the actual metrics. I think I’ll be able to define the right ones for me, which will answer my particular needs and not some “proved”/”best practice” programme/approach.
My concern is with the people, how they would react to applying the metrics. My biggest concern is that when metrics are applied target shifts from finding software problems to satisfying the metrics. The bigger the company – the bigger the issue.

You can’t completely forget about the metrics, they are needed for going forward!
