Software Metrics

This is among the best introductory texts on software metrics I've read in a long time. The author carefully and meticulously leads you through the basics of measurement and metrics, including some interesting views about how measurement is an integrated activity that has three distinct phases - cognitive, semantic, and quantitative.

This book is written poorly and it does not provide any information about measuring software. It simply rehashes theoretical statistics taught in 101 and that too in a difficult and hard to understand way.
