A Framework of Software Measurement

Rating:
Summary: Heavy Stuff
Review: This is a serious, exhaustive treatment of software measurement.
There are chapters on the history and foundations of software measurement, including concepts from general measurement theory, and much more.
A serious mathematical background is required to fully understand some parts of the book.
Not for the casual reader. However, good returns may come to those who do make the necessary time investment.
Weakness: English seems to be the author's second language. The writing style may not appeal to some readers.

Summary: A thoughtful and skeptical approach to measurement
Review: Too much of what has been written about software measurement has been fluff, noncritical acceptance of case study data, or mathematical armwaving. This is a sophisticated treatment of what should be a controversial field.
