Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
Software metrication is an attempt to use measurement ideas from other engineering disciplines in order to provide managers with better facilities for monitoring, estimating, and controlling software projects. This book provides a comprehensive review of the derivation and use of software metrics on software projects. It also describes a technique for developing metrics which gives rise to coherent and sensible measures.
MoreLong description:
This is the first book of its kind on software metrics - the measurement of software products and processes used for establishing quality assurance thresholds and in predicting quality levels. This authoritative review of the subject discusses a number of weaknesses which have been discovered over the last ten years and describes a method for the derivation and validation of metrics. This is the first work to describe a methodical derivation process for software metrics and is a major improvement over the current ad hoc ways of developing metrics making this an important and much needed contribution to software engineering.
'ones interest in this book is stimulated by the controversial thesis of the book ... Shepperd and Ince contend that researchers have not addressed the modelling aspects of software metrication sufficiently ... To ignore the arguments the authors present to support their thesis would be foolish in the extreme. Although some of the later chapters are technical, this should not deter you from buying and reading this excellent book.'
Dr Patrick McParland, The Queen's University of Belfast, Software Development Monitor, November 1993
