A rigorous, step-by-step approach to Evaluating and designing software measures Hundreds of software measures have been proposed to the industry over the past forty years, but limitations in their design mean that most of them are of insufficient use to practitioners. So how can practitioners recognize which measures are sound and useful for decision-making? Moreover, for those who have to design new software measures, what must they do to bu...

The International Workshop on Software Measurement has a big tradition based on the German community on Software Metrics (starting as a small working group with the initiators being Reiner Dumke, Christof Ebert and Horst Zuse, currently leading to the German Computer Science Interest Group on Software Measurement (GI FG 2.10)). On the other hand, after first contacts with the Canadian Interest Group in Software Metrics (CIM) and especially wi...

Software developers are faced with the challenge of making software systems and products of ever greater quality and safety, while at the same time being faced with the growing pressure of costs reduction in order to gain and maintain competitive advantages. As in any scientific and engineering discipline, reliable measurement is essential for talking on such a challenge. "Software measurement is an excellent abstraction mechanism for learning...

This book introduces theoretical concepts to explain the fundamentals of the design and evaluation of software estimation models. It provides software professionals with vital information on the best software management software out there.

th The purpose of the 8 Conference on Software Engineering Research, Mana- ment and Applications (SERA 2010) held on May 24 - 26, 2010 in Montreal, Canada was to bring together researchers and scientists, businessmen and ent- preneurs, teachers and students to discuss the numerous fields of computer s- ence, and to share ideas and information in a meaningful way. Our conference officers selected the best 16 papers from those papers accepted fo...

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of two joint events - the International Workshop on Software Measurement, IWSM 2009 and the International Conference on Software Process and Product Measurement, Mensura 2009, held in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, in November 2009. The 24 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions for inclusion in the book. This book considers issues such as the appl...

Software measurement is one of the key technologies employed to control and manage the software development process. Research avenues such as the applicability of metrics, the efficiency of measurement programs in industry, and the theoretical foundations (of software engineering?) have been investigated to evaluate and improve modern software development areas such as object-orientation, compone- based develop-ment, multimedia systems design,...
