Abstract
This paper analyses the influence of process metrics on the increase of so-called maturity levels according to the Bootstrap model. The basic characteristics of this model are described and those metrics that need to be implemented in the software development process in order to change its features are considered and these features can be quantitatively interpreted. The most important characteristics of the software process were measured by using the metric of function points. Also, the influence of a maturity level on achieved productivity was analysed, and a strong correlation was obtained. The results that were obtained illustrate the importance of the application of metrics when one wants to increase the quality of the software development process.
