Excerpt from Cyclomatic Complexity Metrics Revisited: An Empirical Study of Software Development and MaintenanceA critical distinction between software engineering and other, more well-established branches of engineering is the shortage of well-accepted measures, or metrics of software. Without such metrics, the tasks of planning and controlling software development and maintenance will remain stagnant in a craft-type mode, wherein greater skill is acquired only through greater experience, and such experience cannot be easily communicated to the next system for study, adoption, and further improvement. With such metrics, software projects can be quantitatively described, and the methods and tools used on the projects to improve productivity and quality can be evaluated. These evaluations will help the discipline grow and mature, as progress is made at adopting those innovations that work well, and discarding or revising those that do not.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
