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

Factors Affecting Software Development Productivity: An empirical study
TL;DR: It was found out that some factors appear to allow independence and responsibility of team, while others appear to cause a better distribution of tasks, which show how the different factors do (or do not) affect productivity.
On Issues with Software Quality Models
TL;DR: This position paper discusses some of issues related to existing software metrics and quality models, and presents the approach to software quality assessment.

Structural Patterns for the Transformation of Business Process Models
TL;DR: A model transformation approach based on domainspecific patterns which is applied for analyzing business process models in a precise way is proposed, which facilitates the definition of business process model transformations, which can be easily adapted to different business process modeling languages and specific transformation problems.

Deriving an approximation algorithm for automatic computation of ripple effect measures
TL;DR: The conclusion of this research is that the approximated algorithm is valid and as such can replace Yau and Collofello's original algorithm.
