Applied Software Measurement: Assuring Productivity and Quality (Software Engineering Series)

Software measurement has quickly earned its place as the best method to ensure productivity and quality control. But since the original publication of this definitive work-which introduced the science and put it on the map-metrics have grown far more complex. This edition addresses the massive measurement changes wrought by new technologies and paradigms, as well as outsourcing and reenginering. A true classic in the literature of information systems, the second edition fully discusses software metrics in relation to areas of acute interest today.
