Goal-Question-Metric method for evaluation of cartographic functionality in GIS software
Original language description
GIS software supports creating cartographic output in various qualities. Objective evaluation of amount and quality of cartographic tools in GIS software is very difficult. Suitable solution for evaluating cartographic functionality is a Goal ? Question? Metric (GQM) method which was developed for multi-purpose evaluation of software. This method consists of determination of a Goal, construction of sets of Questions and possible answers. The last step is suggesting the Metric, which consists of weightcoefficient for each set of answers. Authorial team suggested suitable testing groups for cartographic functions in GIS software according to use of cartographic methods. For each group a set of questions and possible answers was created. Every group hasits weight coefficient in percentage. The setting of the coefficients of the metric demands expert judgment and careful testing. Developed metric is currently being tested on selected GIS programs. The biggest advantage of this method is
