Making Software Measurement Work: Building an Effective Measurement Program (Qed Software Evaluation) Feature

About This Book Software measurement is the religion of the 90's. But the literature on software metrics has been mired in academic irrelevance. Now this has changed. Making Software Measurement Work is a practice-based, superbly-real book on how to make measurement useful. Hetzel explains what to measure, how to measure it, and why. He substantiates this vital roadmap with knowledge gained in consulting with and surveying the work of real companies. Hetzel gives you:
* A practice-based, bottom-up approach.
* A comparative analysis of techniques, tools and processes.
* An emphasis on fundamentals and how to get started.
* A powerful, unbiased argument for using measurement.
* Excellent examples and sample measurements.

A Framework for Reverse Engineering: Building Tools for Software Quality Analysis and Software Understanding

A Framework for Reverse Engineering: Building Tools for Software Quality Analysis and Software Understanding Feature

Reverse engineering is an activity supporting the comprehension of complex software systems. Considering the size of modern software systems, comprehension is anything but simple and must be supported by tools. Many components (tools) for software retrieval, analysis and visualization exist and are already considered best practice. Unfortunately, these stand-alone components are ineffective by themselves. It is therefore important that users be able to assemble arbitrary components into powerful reverse engineering tools. Component assembly, however, is not a trivial task. In this book, we describe the VizzAnalyzer Framework, a composition system that has been designed and implemented to support building reverse engineering tools. The framework facilitates the flexible and rapid composition of user-defined tools. Components are adapted at design time and selected and composed at run time. Moreover, we present two evaluations of the framework, validating its qualities. This book is for anyone who is interested in software reverse engineering, its process and tools, as well as anyone who wants to learn about automated software quality assessment.

Managing Software Debt: Building for Inevitable Change (Agile Software Development Series)

Managing Software Debt: Building for Inevitable Change (Agile Software Development Series) Feature

Shipping imperfect software is like going into debt. When you incur debt, the illusion of doing things faster can lead to exponential growth in the cost of maintaining software. Software debt takes five major forms: technical, quality, configuration management, design, and platform experience. In today’s rush to market, software debt is inevitable. And that’s okay—if you’re careful about the debt you incur, and if you quickly pay it back.

 

In Managing Software Debt, leading Agile expert Chris Sterling shows how understanding software debt can help you move products to market faster, with a realistic plan for refactoring them based on experience. Writing for all Agile software professionals, Sterling explains why you’re going into software debt whether you know it or not—and why the interest on that debt can bring projects to a standstill. Next, he thoroughly explains each form of software debt, showing how to plan for it intelligently and repay it successfully. You’ll learn why accepting software debt is not the same as deliberate sloppiness, and you’ll learn how to use the software debt concept to systematically improve architectural agility. Coverage includes

 

• Managing tensions between speed and perfection and recognizing that you’ll inevitably ship some “not quite right” code
• Planning to minimize interest payments by paying debts quickly
• Building architectures that respond to change and help enterprises run more smoothly
• Incorporating emergent architecture concepts into daily activities, using Agile collaboration and refactoring techniques
• Delivering code and other software internals that reduce the friction of future change
• Using early, automated testing to move past the “break/fix” mentality
• Scripting and streamlining both deployment and rollback
• Implementing team configuration patterns and knowledge sharing approaches that make software debt easier to repay
• Clearing away technical impediments in existing architectures
• Using the YAGNI (“you ain’t gonna need it”) approach to strip away unnecessary complexity

 

Using this book’s techniques, senior software leadership can deliver more business value; managers can organize and support development teams more effectively; and teams and team members can improve their performance throughout the development lifecycle.
