My own view is that robustness to manipulation can't come from metric design, it can only come from culture.
If metrics are tied to reward or punishment, then no matter how clever they are, they will be gamed.
- sytse 10y agoI agree that everything will be gamed and that culture is the best protection. I do think that some metrics are easier to manipulate (cyclomatic complexity comes to mind) and some metrics don't correspond with effectiveness (lines of code written).
