This book looks at the classical metrology concepts from science and engineering, using them as criteria to propose an approach to analyze the design of current software measures and then design new software measures (illustrated with the design of a software measure that has been adopted as an ISO measurement standard). The book includes several case studies analyzing strengths and weaknesses of some of the software measures most often quoted. It is meant for software quality specialists and process improvement analysts and managers.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eForeword vii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePreface ix\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments xvii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAbout the Author xix\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePART 1: Key Concepts for the Design of Software Measures 1\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 INTRODUCTION 3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 FROM MEASUREMENT METHODS TO QUANTITATIVE MODELS: A MEASUREMENT CONTEXT MODEL 17\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 METROLOGY AND QUALITY CRITERIA IN SOFTWARE MEASUREMENT 47\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 QUANTIFICATION AND MEASUREMENT ARE NOT THE SAME! 67\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5 THE DESIGN OF SOFTWARE MEASUREMENT METHODS 99\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePART 2: Some Popular Software Measures: How Good Are They? 129\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6 CYCLOMATIC COMPLEXITY NUMBER: ANALYSIS OF ITS DESIGN 131\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7 HALSTEAD'S METRICS: ANALYSIS OF THEIR DESIGNS 145\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e8 FUNCTION POINTS: ANALYSIS OF THEIR DESIGN 161\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e9 USE CASE POINTS: ANALYSIS OF THEIR DESIGN 191\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e10 ISO 9126: ANALYSIS OF QUALITY MODELS AND MEASURES 205\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePART 3: The Design of COSMIC – ISO 19761 229\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e11 COSMIC: DESIGN OF AN INITIAL PROTOTYPE 231\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e12 COSMIC: SCALING UP AND INDUSTRIALIZATION 247\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePART 4: Other Issues in the Design of Software Measures 267\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e13 CONVERTIBILITY ACROSS MEASUREMENT METHODS 269\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e14 DESIGN OF STANDARD ETALONS: THE NEXT FRONTIER IN SOFTWARE MEASUREMENT 281\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix A: List of Acronyms 297\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix B: Glossary of Terms in Software Measurement 299\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix C: References 305\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 313\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Electronics \u0026amp; communications engineering [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Electronics \u0026amp; communications engineering\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Electronics%20\u0026amp;%20communications%20engineering%20%5BTJ%5D%22\"\u003eTJ\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Wiley-IEEE Computer Society Pr","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52276368179480,"sku":"9780470597200","price":68.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780470597200.jpg?v=1781367779","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/software-metrics-and-software-metrology-paperback-softback-9780470597200","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
