WAP (Software Engineering)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

WAP is unit that is equivalent to 100,000 SLOCs. SLOC is a software metric used to measure the size of a software program by counting the number of lines of text in the program's source code. Therefore one WAP is equivalent to 100,000 lines of source code text.

The name WAP originates from Leo Tolstoy's War and Peace, which approximately contains 100,000 lines of text.
