Software Engineering Measurement

Software Engineering Measurement lays the basis for measurement standards so that software developers can begin to share experimental results in a meaningful way. It teaches computer science practitioners what metrics to collect, how to convert measurement data to management information, and how to manage software development measurement systems. The statistics necessary to perform these conversions are also supplied. This technical reference demonstrates how one can develop simple experiments for the empirical validation of theoretical research and shows how to convert measurement data into meaningful and valuable information that can be used immediately for software process improvement.
