Software Metrics: A Rigorous and Practical Approach, Third Edition (Chapman & Hall/CRC Innovations in Software Engineering and Software Development Series)

A Framework for Managing, Measuring, and Predicting Attributes of Software Development Products and ProcessesReflecting the immense progress in the development and use of software metrics in the past decades, Software Metrics: A Rigorous and Practical Approach, Third Edition provides an up-to-date, accessible, and comprehensive introduction to software metrics. Like its popular predecessors, this third edition discusses important issues, explains essential concepts, and offers new approaches for tackling long-standing problems.\nNew to the Third EditionThis edition contains new material relevant to object-oriented design, design patterns, model-driven development, and agile development processes. It includes a new chapter on causal models and Bayesian networks and their application to software engineering. This edition also incorporates recent references to the latest software metrics activities, including research results, industrial case studies, and standards.\nSuitable for a Range of ReadersWith numerous examples and exercises, this book continues to serve a wide audience. It can be used as a textbook for a software metrics and quality assurance course or as a useful supplement in any software engineering course. Practitioners will appreciate the important results that have previously only appeared in research-oriented publications. Researchers will welcome the material on new results as well as the extensive bibliography of measurement-related information. The book also gives software managers and developers practical guidelines for selecting metrics and planning their use in a measurement program.

The second edition of this comprehensive text provides an up-to-date, coherent, and rigorous framework for controlling, managing, and predicting software development processes. With an emphasis on real-world applications, the authors apply basic ideas in measurement theory to quantify software development resources, processes, and products. They also discuss the limitations of past and current approaches used in empirical research, show how these limitations can be reduced, and provide guidelines for making decisions. In addition to worked examples and exercises, this edition features extensive case studies throughout the chapters.
