"Completeness" means that the code accomplishes everything it sets out
to do. For example, a test suite isn't complete until it tests (at
least) every method in the classes it covers.

There's no one way of measuring programmer productivity, but LoC is an
especially crooked yardstick. Some proponents of test-driven
development suggest you count "number of tests written" and "number of
tests passed". Compared to LoC, those numbers are arguably relevant to
producing good software; so you'll have an excuse if you feel that you
must have something to count.

Cheers!
