"Agile Software Development Quality Assurance provides in-depth coverage of the most important concepts, issues, trends, and technologies in agile software. This Premier Reference Source provides the research and instruction used to develop and implement software quickly, in small iteration cycles, and in close cooperation with the customer in an adaptive way. It is a comprehensive guide that helps researchers and practitioners in the agile software development process avoid risks and project failures that are frequently encountered in traditional software projects."
Applied Software Measurement: Third Edition - Accurately size, estimate, and administer software projects with real-world guidance from an industry expert. Fully updated to cover the latest tools and techniques, Applied Software Measurement, Third Edition details how to deploy a cost-effective and pragmatic analysis strategy. You will learn how to use function points and baselines, implement benchmarks and tracking systems, and perform efficiency tests. Full coverage of the latest regulations, metrics, and standards is included. A chapter on software quality and user satisfaction is included.
Handbook of Software Quality Assurance - This fourth edition, published in 2007 and edited by G. Gordon Schulmeyer, provides 16 of the world's leading SQA experts sharing their practical experience with the full range of techniques available for managing software quality. There are separate chapters on inspections, software configuration management, cost estimating for software quality, and quality measurement. This Handbook of Software Quality Assurance capitalizes on the talents and skills of the experts who deal with the implementation of software quality assurance on a daily basis. To have their accumulated knowledge at hand makes this Handbook a valuable resource. Each author, because of his special skills, talents, foresight, and interests, has contributed to the maturing process occurring in the field of software quality today.
Managing Software Quality: A Measurement Framework for Assessment and Prediction - From the web site:
"Richard Nance and James Arthur's guide to managing software quality goes beyond the usual answers to the "why" and "what" questions generally provided in the standards documents. They not only look at the "how to" in their focus of the measurement of software quality, but also come up with specific suggestions to the pressing needs of practicing software engineers, quality assurance engineers and software and project managers."
There are several chapters on software quality measurement included in this book.
Metrics and Models in Software Quality Engineering (2nd Edition) - From the web site:
"Authored by Kan, Stephen H., this Addison-Welsley 2003 edition updates the 1995 previously published book. Over 500 pages this new edition keeps all the virtues of the original but adds new chapters such as one on Measuring Quality with the Object-Oriented Paradigm. Capers Jones called it "The single best book on software quality engineering and metrics he had encountered."
To produce high-quality software, we need high-quality, effective managers. Becoming such a manager is the subject of this third stand-alone volume in Gerald Weinberg's highly acclaimed series.
To be effective, managers must act congruently. That is, managers must not only understand the concepts of good software engineering, but also practice them, which sounds easier than it is in practice. Standing in the way is a lot of emotional baggage that we all carry, the author asserts, and congruence is the way to cope with our emotional baggage.
Congruence has the sense of "fitting" -- in this case simultaneously fitting your own needs, the needs of the other people involved, and the contextual needs (in business, for example, the business needs). Examples, diagrams, and tools such as the Myers-Briggs indicator fortify the author's recommendations.
Risk Management Processes for Software Engineering Models - by Marian Myerson
The potential threats associated with software
development are identified as the author explains how to
establish an effective risk management program. The text
details the six critical steps involved in applying the
process and discusses various software metrics
approaches which can be used to measure software quality.

From the web site:
"The integrated software development approach presented in this book outlines practices for hiring and retaining the best people, and recommends efficient procedures for them to use. Separate chapters describe guidelines for developing configuration management, requirements engineering, design, project management, and measurement procedures that support an iterative software development life cycle. Topics include providing a suitable workplace, controlling changes to software artifacts, reducing large system into modules, minimizing the use of "goto" statements, reusability, and defect estimation techniques. "
Website description: "Tian (computer science and engineering, Southern Methodist University) offers an integrated approach to software quality engineering in this text for students in software engineering, computer science, information systems, and electrical engineering. The first part of the book introduces major topics in software quality engineering and presents quality planning as an integral part of the process. Later chapters cover software testing, alternatives for quality assurance, and measurement and analysis. Chapter problems are included. The book can also be used as a reference by software and computer professionals and engineers."
