Description

This book presents a comprehensive international overview of software quality assurance and metrics practice with contributions from around the world. Common themes and paradigms emerge from the presentation of measurement frameworks at the start, through methods and tools, to industrial and research case studies of QA and metrics in use. The combination of the international perspective and practical case studies presented here should make this book useful to all practitioners and students in software engineering.
