Software Measurement and Estimation by Linda M Laird

Software Measurement and Estimation by Linda M Laird

Practical Estimation in Software Engineering is a practical guide to metrics and quantitative software estimation. The book begins with the foundations of measurement and metrics, and then focuses on techniques and tools for estimation of the required effort and the resulting quality of a software project.

"It is a good and welcome addition to any technical library…and for anyone…who needs to manage software, either development or acquisition" (ACM Software Engineering Notes, January 2007)

"…an excellent book on this important area of software development." (CHOICE, December 2006)

"The authors offer software engineers and project managers a new, tested approach that provides the quantitative tools, data, and knowledge needed to make sound estimations." (IEEE Computer Magazine, August 2006)

"Corporations should advise both their project managers and their software teams to study methods introduced in this worthy text." (Kybernetes, Vol.36 Issue 1)
