Metric: The developer should provide a description of the theory and method of translation used by the system. -- Method: Receipt and review of the specification of the transfer method. -- Measurement: 1) Yes or no: Is the system a transfer translation system? 2) At what level of transfer does the system operate primarily?
Metric: If the system uses a grammar, the form and number of grammatical analysis rules -- Method: Receipt and review of the grammatical rules in place -- Measurement: 1) Yes or no: Do the grammatical rules exist? 2) What number of grammatical rules exist?
Metric: If the system uses a grammar, the coverage of the grammatical rules -- Method: (a) Receipt and review of the grammatical rules in place -- Measurement: (a) Analyzed coverage of grammatical rules for number of phenomena covered.
Method: (b) Use test suite to test for grammatical phenomena coverage -- Measurement: (b) Number of test suite cases covered
Metric: If the system uses a grammar, the relaxation capacity -- Method: (a) Receipt and review of the grammatical relaxation algorithm -- Measurement: (a) Analyzed coverage of relaxation algorithm for number of phemomena covered
Method: (b) Use test suite to test for grammatical relaxations -- Measurement: (b) Number of test suite cases covered
Metric: If the system uses a grammar, the ease of adding or changing the rules -- Method: Add or change a grammar rule -- Measurement: Yes or no: Can the grammar be changed? --
