5.0 out of 5 stars Treasure trove of information and formulae
This books is the next step in the evolution of Dr. Barry Boehm's seminal work, Software Engineering Economics (it was NOT written by Dr. Boehm, however). It provides a logically laid out format that examines measurement at each stage of the development life cycle. I was impressed with the attention paid to testing and V&V.

2.0 out of 5 stars 25 % of the book is not usable
The title of the book promises software to aid in software measurement. Unfortunately the software installation is poorly designed. This makes installation diffucult if not impossible. The software support that is mentioned in the book is nonexistent and unresponsive. I don't recommend the book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Treasure trove of information and formulae, April 26, 1998
This review is from: Software Measurement: A Visualization Toolkit for Project Control and Process Improvement (Hewlett-Packard professional books) (Hardcover)
This books is the next step in the evolution of Dr. Barry Boehm's seminal work, Software Engineering Economics (it was NOT written by Dr. Boehm, however). It provides a logically laid out format that examines measurement at each stage of the development life cycle. I was impressed with the attention paid to testing and V&V. I have not tried the software that comes with the book (book includes a CD ROM with a product called PAMPAS); however, I view the software as an added bonus. It is certainly not required to gain an extradorinary amount of knowledge from reading the book from cover to cover. Highly recommended!
