Overview
This second stand-alone volume of the series offers you a step-by-step plan for gathering reliable information through careful observation and measurement.Specific techniques are explained in detail, with a model that divides the complex measurement process into four steps:
- Intake
- Meaning
- Significance
- Response
Each step illustrates how to more precisely observe and measure the software development process.
Weinberg targets the key factors to measure, so as to produce consistent quality software.

Designed as a stand-alone text, this second volume in a three-volume series (the first volume, Systems Thinking, was reviewed in the March 1992 SciTech Book News) illustrates how to more precisely observe and measure the software development process, and offers a four-step model to break the complex process into a series of smaller, simpler steps. It also describes the minimum set of activities for any organization to start a measurement program, as well as the key factors to measure that will help organizations consistently produce the quality software they want.
