Features: The combination of theory, technology, and practical examples is a distinctive feature of this book. The focus is on using metrics, not just describing them. In addition to detailing fundamental issues and techniques, including software metrics, software reliability models, and models and analysis of program complexity, the book also discusses topics such as process metrics, defect detection effectiveness, and customer satisfaction. The book is filled with numerous real-life examples, many of which come from the author's experience. He was a central figure in the IBMAS/400 system software quality activities, which were awarded the Baldrige Award. These examples show you how to apply theory and technology to your work. The book also includes examples from renowned computer companies such as HP, Motorola, and the NASA Software Engineering Laboratory. The excellent balance of theory, technology, and examples makes this book a highly instructive and practical work on one of the most important issues in software development. The book elaborates on the fundamental issues and techniques in software quality engineering, in addition to software metrics, software reliability models, and models and analysis of program complexity, it also discusses process metrics, defect detection effectiveness, and customer satisfaction. The combination of theory, technology, and examples is a distinctive feature of the book, with many examples from software engineering laboratories such as IBM and Motorola. Through these examples, readers can further understand how to apply the theory and technology discussed in the book to practical work to measure and improve the quality of the entire software development process.
