About this title

Synopsis

This text describes how software metrics and models can be used by managers, analysts, and programmers to develop more reliable and cost effective sofytware. It provides an introduction to software complexity metrics, the factors which affect software development productivity and cost estimation. It also discusses methodologies and statistical tools suitable for researchers to conduct their own experimental of proposed metrics or models.
