Recently, we were asked to find the lines of code in our application by our managers. I have actually been pondering since then; what does this metric signify ?
Is it to measure the average lines of code the developer has written over the time ?
- IF no re-factoring happens then this can be a possibility.
Does it tell how good is your application ?
Does it help one in marketing the product ?
I don't know how does it help. Can some one please guide me in the right direction or answer what does this metric signify ?
Thanks.
