Opis

This landmark book is the first to describe a methodical derivation process for software metrics--measurements of software products and processes used to monitor, estimate, and control the quality and utility of software projects. The author reviews the subject, discusses a number of weaknesses inherent in software metrication, and describes a method for derivation and validation. Students and professionals in computer science, software engineering, and software quality assurance will want to read this important new contribution to the literature.

Recenzje

This book is without doubt one of the best written and most readable books currently available in the area of software metrics and provides very useful insights into many of the problems which software engineering faces.... This book is certainly one of the most informative books on software metrics currently available. Its message is clearly enunciated and the arguments for and against various metrics are unambiguously and objectively stated.... represents a significant step forward in the development of metrics and its publication is very welcome.
