Software Measurement Guidebook. Version 02.00.02

Abstract

The Software Measurement Guidebook, Version 2.0, provides practical guidance for the quantitative management of a software development project. It describes how to use measurement methods in setting quantifiable goals for a software project, in selecting metrics to support those goals, and in managing to meet those goals. It presents methods for estimating software size, cost, and development schedule. It provides tracking and monitoring methods to evaluate status and earned value for ongoing development projects and to help ensure that the software projects proceed as planned and that any deviations from the plan are detected and quickly corrected. It also presents methods to estimate the costs of support to software development.
