Features: This book is a revised edition of the author's 1991 work, "Software Metrics; A Rigorous Approach." The previous edition achieved great success. To better reflect the rapid development of software metrics technology and its widespread integration into industrial practice, this book has been comprehensively revised in both content and concept. As a result, it includes numerous case studies, processed examples, and exercises. Each chapter has been enriched and updated, and new content has been added, such as process maturity and process measurement, goal-problem-measurement (GPM), metrics planning, experiments, practice studies, object-oriented metrics, and metrics tools. Software metrics are an important topic in software engineering and the foundation for quantitative management in software engineering projects. Proper metrics provide a scientific basis for the development, evaluation (assessment), and improvement of software products and processes. This book comprehensively and systematically introduces the principles and methods of software metrics, making it an invaluable in the field.
