...a commendable contribution toward advancing the theory and practice of software engineering. Taking a cut across the software engineering life cycle and brilliantly juxtaposing know-how and show-how, __Metrics-Driven Enterprise Software Development__ is a fine source of guidance on the use of metrics in enterprise software development for developers and managers alike. --Deependra Moitra, Venture Catalyst and Management Consultant; Former Associate Vice President & General Manager, Infosys Technologies Limited __Metrics-Driven Enterprise Software Development__ is honest, informative and even funny in the right places without diluting the topic. The introduction of this book is beautifully crafted. It made me want to read more a rare accomplishment for a technical book. --Shovon Mukherjee, Partner, GBS, IBM Global Services This practical reference discusses why essential processes so often fail to deliver quality industrial software to meet user needs. It describes how to integrate processes and metrics to ensure easier and more effective enterprise software development. Its metrics-driven approach guides practitioners at every step of the life cycle and helps them analyze, design, implement, test and deploy solutions with greater confidence, purpose and sensitivity to evolving business needs. **KEY FEATURES** --Presents insights and strategies for formulating metrics in software development activities and clarifies them in the context of iterative and incremental development methodologies --Introduces techniques for building, applying and interpreting metrics for the workflows across the software development life cycle phases of inception, elaboration, construction and transition --Highlights rigor vs. expediency trade-offs in the design and use of metrics, and suggests discovery vs. invention strategies for leveraging the correct metric --Offers a free downloadable metrics-driven software development presentation and a quick reference glossary of important metrics -- available from the Web Added Value Download Resource Center at www.jrosspub.com

Includes index.

Almost every engineering discipline other than software has clear guidelines for measuring processes and products and making decisions based on quantified evidence. Although metrics are seen as powerful tools for understanding and gauging software development, they are usually employed ad-hoc and without clear directions for interpreting the numbers and acting on them. Software development processes are not often followed in spirit due to difficulties in evaluating their benefits and tracking compliance. This results in software that does meet user needs. This practical book crosses the divide between theory and practice and discusses why essential processes so often fail to deliver quality industrial software. It describes how to integrate processes and metrics to ensure easier and more effective enterprise software development. Metrics-Driven Enterprise Software Development introduces the techniques for building, applying and interpreting metrics for the workflows across the software development life cycle phases of inception, elaboration, construction and transition. This metrics-driven approach guides practitioners at every step of the lifecycle and helps them analyze, design, implement, test and deploy solutions with greater confidence, purpose, and sensitivity to evolving business needs. Effective use of metrics is a key skill for all those involved in next generation software projects. This book is a must read for software engineering practitioners (architects, application developers, designers and project managers), academics, and students and apprentices of software engineering.
