This practical reference discusses why essential processes so often
fail to deliver quality industrial software to meet user needs. It
describes how to integrate processes and metrics to ensure easier and
more effective enterprise software development. Its metrics-driven
approach guides practitioners at every step of the life cycle and helps
them analyze, design, implement, test and deploy solutions with greater
confidence, purpose and sensitivity to evolving business needs.

It describes how to integrate processes and metrics to ensure easier and more effective enterprise software development. Its metrics-driven approach guides practitioners at every step of the life cycle and helps them analyze, design, implement, test and deploy solutions with greater confidence, purpose and sensitivity to evolving business needs. KEY FEATURES --Presents insights and strategies for formulating metrics in software development activities and clarifies them in the context of iterative and incremental development methodologies --Introduces techniques for building, applying and interpreting metrics for the workflows across the software development life cycle phases of inception, elaboration, construction and transition --Highlights rigor vs. expediency trade-offs in the design and use of metrics, and suggests discovery vs. invention strategies for leveraging the correct metric --Offers a free downloadable metrics-driven software development presentation and a quick reference glossary of important metrics From the Author This is not a book about how enterprise software should be built. This is a book about how enterprise software is built, and how metrics can help make a difference. There are many books harping on the "should" of enterprise software development. The fact that there are many books implies: a. there are many strong feelings about the subject, and b. there is very little consensus. This book illustrates how simple and intuitive techniques can go a long way in meeting customer expectations better, building systems that are easier to evolve and improve, and cause developers less pain and penance. About the Author Subhajit Datta has wide experience in developing enterprise software systems. He worked as a software engineer with IBM Global Services in the roles of technical lead, business systems analyst, release manager, and application developer. He has a Master of Science in Computer Science and an undergraduate degree in electrical engineering. Mr. Datta is an IBM Certified Specialist for Rational Unified Process v2003, with additional certification in Object-Oriented Analysis and Design with UML.
