Software metrication is an attempt to use measurement ideas from other engineering disciplines in order to provide managers with better facilities for monitoring, estimating, and controlling software projects. This book provides a comprehensive review of the derivation and use of software metrics on software projects. It also describes a technique for developing metrics which gives rise to coherent and sensible measures.
This is the first work to describe a methodical derivation process for software metrics and is a major improvement over the current ad hoc ways of developing metrics making this a important and much needed contribution to software engineering.
