The most important aim of software engineering is to improve software productivity and quality of software product and further reduce the cost of software and time using engineering and management techniques. Broadly speaking, software engineering initiative has been introduced during software crisis period to describe the collection of techniques that apply engineering and management skills to the construction and support of software process and products. There is no universally agreed theory for software measurement. And the software metrics are useful for obtaining the information on evaluation of process and product in software engineering. It helps to plan and carry out improvement in software organizations and to provide objective information about project performance, process capability and product quality. The process capability is extremely important for software industry because the quality of products is largely determined by the quality of the processes. The make use of of existing metrics and development of innovative software metrics will be important factors in future software engineering process and product development. In future, research work will be based on using software metrics in software development for the development of the time schedule, cost estimates and software quality and can be improved through software metrics. The permanent application of measurement based methodologies is used to the software process and its products to provide important and timely management information, together with the use of those techniques to improve that software process and its products. This research paper mainly concentrates on the overview of unique basics of software measurement and exclusive fundamentals of software metrics in software engineering.
