Practical Estimation in Software Engineering Approach

"Practical Estimation in Software Engineering" is a practical guide to metrics and quantitative software estimation. The book begins with the foundations of measurement and metrics, and then focuses on techniques and tools for estimation of the required effort and the resulting quality of a software project. The factors that impact the estimations are also examined, so that readers can continually improve their estimations, based upon adjusting the characteristics of a project, to complete a project on-time, on budget, and with the required quality.
