Contemporary defence information system developments are moving towards utilising Continuous Iterative Development (CID) employing cloud native software development approaches involving many contractors delivering various components. The key questions for capability managers not familiar with CID developments revolve around knowing how well the development is progressing and understanding how well the constituent systems to be delivered will integrate as time goes by. The authors were tasked to produce a metrics framework to address these questions and the resulting new construction is presented along with the key metrics and integration matrices. The paper concludes that the matrices will readily identify integration issues very early in the program because their instantiation will necessitate the evaluation of all nominated services between the constituent systems.
