From the Publisher:
The Second Edition of Software Metrics provides an up-to-date, coherent, and rigorous framework for controlling, managing, and predicting software development processes. With an emphasis on real-world applications, Fenton and Pfleeger apply basic ideas in measurement theory to quantify software development resources, processes, and products. The book offers an accessible and comprehensive introduction to software metrics, now an essential component of software engineering for both classroom and industry. Software Metrics features extensive case studies from Hewlett Packard, IBM, the U.S. Department of Defense, Motorola, and others, in addition to worked examples and exercises. The Second Edition includes up-to-date material on process maturity and measurement, goal-question-metric, planning a metrics program, measurement in practice, experimentation, empirical studies, ISO9216, and metric tools.read more

On the Aging Effects Due to Concurrency Bugs: A Case Study on MySQL
TL;DR: Results highlight that both available resources and DBMS performance can decrease with time in a hard-to-predict way, and suggest that finer-grained indicators and/or different techniques need to be taken into account for properly preventing failures.

Static and dynamic distance metrics for feature-based code analysis

TL;DR: The results of the study suggest that the distance metrics discussed in this paper can provide a good measurement, in a quantitative way, of how close two program features are.

QEST nD: n-dimensional extension and generalisation of a software performance measurement model
Luigi Buglione,Alain Abran +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a multi-dimensional measurement model capable of handling concurrently, distinct but related areas of interest, each representing a dimension of performance, based on an open model called Quality factor+Economic, Social, and Technical dimensions (QEST) which had been developed to handle, simultaneously and concurrently, a three-dimensional perspective of performance: • economic dimension, the perspective of managers; • social dimension and user perspective; • technical dimension, a perspective of developers.

An Approach to Preserving Sufficient Correctness in Open Resource Coalitions
TL;DR: The problem of determining fitness for purpose is discussed, a model for detecting abnormal behavior is introduced, and some of the ways to deal with abnormalities when they are detected are described.

Empirical Evaluations of Usage-Based Reading and Fault Content Estimation for Software Inspections
TL;DR: This thesis describes six empirical investigations of two techniques applied to software inspections, namely reading techniques and fault content estimation techniques, namely capture-recapture and curve fitting.
