Software measurement has quickly earned its place as the best method to ensure productivity and quality control. But since the original publication of this definitive work-which introduced the science and put it on the map-metrics have grown far more complex. This edition addresses the massive measurement changes wrought by new technologies and paradigms, as well as outsourcing and reenginering. A true classic in the literature of information systems, the second edition fully discusses software metrics in relation to areas of acute interest today.

(This book addresses industrial and commercial programming...)
This book addresses industrial and commercial programming methods and a way to prepare for managing programming. It explains and illustrates the kind of programming that occurs in these industries, and also in academic and governmental environments. It shows how to increase productivity rates. It covers: "software embedded in or associated with the marketed products of an enterprise; applications software to facilitate internal functions; and packaged or acquired software used by, but not directly developed by, an enterprise." "Explicit information is given on the technologies, results, and organizational structures that have proved successful. The emerging science of programming system development is examined in the context of standard functions, optimal structures, and reusable components. The author identifies the measured results that are beginning to be achieved in cost reductions, schedule reductions, and quality." -taken from the dust jacket "About The Book"
