Software Metrics for Product Assesment

From the Publisher: It is only recently that there has been an awareness of measurement in software engineering. Prior to this everybody knew that there was a problem with poor software quality and productivity, but few people bothered to quantify the situation. This book addresses this problem. The book evolved out of a CEC funded project, SCOPE, which is concerned with software assessment for certification. Thus the book provides a comprehensive approach to product based assessment. The authors speak from genuine experience of software measurement programmes and the techniques they describe are not just theory they have been tried and tested in real projects. Special features of the book are: a full description of product-based certification a summary of how metrics can be used for assessment and examples from industrial case studies.
