Applied Software Measurement: Assuring Productivity and Quality (Software Engineering Series) Review
Software measurement has quickly earned its place as the best method to ensure productivity and quality control. But since the original publication of this definitive work-which introduced the science and put it on the map-metrics have grown far more complex. This edition addresses the massive measurement changes wrought by new technologies and paradigms, as well as outsourcing and reenginering. A true classic in the literature of information systems, the second edition fully discusses software metrics in relation to areas of acute interest today.
Making Software Measurement Work: Building an Effective Measurement Program (Qed Software Evaluation) Review
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.
Measurement, Analysis, and Control Using Jmp: Quality Techniques for Manufacturing Review
For a manufacturing activity to remain competitive, engineers must rigorously apply statistics methodologies that enable them to understand the sources and consequences of uncontrolled process variation. In this example-rich text, author Jack Reece explains simple comparative statistics and demonstrates how to use JMP to examine raw data graphically and to generate regression models involving fixed and random effects. The following major topics are addressed:
Although many of the examples rely on case studies, largely in the semiconductor manufacturing area, the principles described and the methods used apply generally to the study of any process or manufacturing activity. This book assumes that the reader has some knowledge of JMP software, but does not assume extensive statistical knowledge.
