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

A functional size measurement method for object-oriented conceptual schemas: design and evaluation issues
TL;DR: This paper presents OO-Method Function Points (OOmFP), which is a new FSM method for object-oriented systems that is based on measuring conceptual schemas and is presented following the steps of a process model for software measurement.

Measuring the Discriminative Power of Object-Oriented Class Cohesion Metrics
TL;DR: This paper lists and discusses cases in which the lack of discrimination anomaly (LDA) problem exists, as expressed through the use of 16 cohesion metrics, and proposes a metric and a simulation-based methodology to measure the discriminative power of cohesion metrics.

A fuzzy logic based set of measures for software project similarity: validation and possible improvements
Ali Idri,Alain Abran +1 more
TL;DR: A set of new measures based on fuzzy logic for similarity when the software projects are described by categorical data are proposed, validated by means of an axiomatic validation approach.

Predicting maintenance effort with function points
F. Niessink,H. van Vliet +1 more
TL;DR: Analysis of data gathered on a major system over a period of 18 months suggests that the size of the component to be changed has a much larger impact on effort than thesize of the change itself.

Non-Functional Requirements Elicitation
Luiz Marcio Cysneiros,Eric Yu +1 more
TL;DR: Non-functional aspects of software development should be treated as requirements to be dealt with from the earliest stages of the software development process, and then throughout the entire life cycle.
