=BOOK MARKETING PHRASEOLOGY: Measurement Is Imperative For The Design and Certification Of Every Engineering. The book, Software Metrics: The Discipline Of Software Quality defines Software Measurement completely away from traditional LINES-OF-CODE, LOC techniques. It does this by incorporating the tenets of a measure function (of mathematics) into that of Structured programming to design a Tree Structure edifying the methodology as Tree Methodology, TM with the tenets:: 1. The tenets of Software Engineering. 2. the tenets of Structured Programming-- Tree-Like Designs; 3. The postulates of a Measure Function Of the Theory of Mathematics. In this paradigm, the book offers some 45 mathematical models of software metrics (for the first time in history) formally classified under Software Complexity; and Software Quality. For instance, WELL-STRUCTURED is a measure to be desired of every software module. Measurement Is the Maturation of a Discipline. Measurement here, means Soundly-Based on admissible Principles. In this prudence, formal classification is the first phase of measurement. And classification in software Engineering begins by identifying the components of a given software module. LOC does not offer this technique. NOTICE: I have encoded the complete title of the book here to correct your use of "software metrics." I offered this correction years ago but, Booksurge paid no attention. This book has a mission: software measurement. Please, correct Your present usage is semantically obfuscating
