Description
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.
