Overview
- A measurement methodology based on the core precepts of Software Engineering
- Describes lessons learned during on-site research and application of software quality measurement
- Discusses how to reach the desirable end result, while most other models and assessment procedures for software quality tend only to concentrate on the end result
- An holistic approach to software quality measurement
- Goes beyond the all-encompassing answers to the "why" and "what" questions
- Offers specific, viable suggestions to help you deal with difficult problems
- Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras

About this book
Reviews
From the reviews:
"This is one of the few books in this area that addresses the 'quality' aspect based upon the important aspect of documentation. In addition, the book provides a basis for not only the software manager concerned with measurement implementation, but also the researcher in identifying the current state of the art and practice. This will be a key reference guide for anyone that is concerned with developing quality software." (William H Farr, PhD, Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division)
"A thought provoking starter for a metrics professional with time to develop theory into practice. … good suggestions are made on typical things to measure. The code and test phases are well covered with extensive examples of metrics. The cost of the book is a small price to pay for the ideas it contains for a serious metrics practitioner, and it should provide some ideas for anyone involved in the measurement aspects of ISO 9001:2000." (Brian Peaker, British Computer Society, January, 2003)
