Managing Software Quality: A Measurement Framework for Assessment and Prediction

This is one of the shorter books in the 21 volume Practitioner Book Series, but this is entirely appropriate for a text on the ubiquitous topic of Quality.\n\nThe book is written in a concise, precise no-nonsense style by two interna� tional authors. They are supported in their approach by relevant personal practical experience and by peer-review of other researchers obtained whilst disseminating their research in the academic literature. The authors base their book around their Objective/Principles/ Attributes (OPA) Framework, developed in the first place for assessment and prediction of software quality. After OPA was developed as a procedure for evaluating software development methodologies, it was expanded to include software quality measurement with the inclusion of statistical indicators and a systematic basis for deriving them. The OPA is an holistic approach to soft� ware quality and prediction. The approach has been validated through experience gained on a 4-year on-site project, which has also led to improve� ments to the framework.Managing Software Quality A Measurement Framework for Assessment and Prediction by Richard E.
