Software IV&V, as practiced by the NASA IV&V Facility, is a welldefined, proven, systems engineering discipline designed to reduce risk in major software systems development. However, we currently have no proven methodology for estimating resource requirements for IV&V based on sound financial criteria. The quantification of a cost structure associated with IV&V and the resulting benefits are essential to make objective decisions concerning the allocation of resources to IV&V activities. The development of ROI metrics for NASA IV&V would provide key information to make rational budgetary decisions that impact safety and mission critical aspects of all NASA software systems. To measure IV&V benefits and costs we must identify relevant measures and provide target ranges for those measures that may be used to evaluate whether or not the goals are achieved and to what degree. This requires a measurement strategy for software IV&V in the NASA context. This paper presents the NASA IV&V Balanced Scorecard strategic measurement framework and discusses its role in providing a minimal and usable core metrics set
