Abstract
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.

Object-oriented product metrics: A generic framework☆

TL;DR: In this paper, a generic framework for object-oriented product metrics is proposed based on a mereological and set theoretic perspective of the building blocks of OO systems and relational measurement theory, which can be used in identifying gaps and additional metrics that can extend the manner in which Metrics Space is currently populated.
