Although there are countless books on statistics, few are dedicated to the
application of statistical methods to software engineering.
Simple Statistical
Methods for Software Engineering: Data and Patterns
fills that void. Instead of
delving into overly complex statistics, the book details simpler solutions that are
just as effective and connect with the intuition of problem solvers.
Sharing valuable insights into software engineering problems and solutions, the
book not only explains the required statistical methods, but also provides many
examples, review questions, and case studies that provide the understanding
required to apply those methods to real-world problems.
After reading this book, practitioners will possess the confidence and understanding
to solve day-to-day problems in quality, measurement, performance, and
benchmarking. By following the examples and case studies, students will be better
prepared able to achieve seamless transition from academic study to industry
practices.
• Includes boxed stories, case studies, and illustrations that demonstrate the
nuances behind proper application
• Supplies historical anecdotes and traces statistical methods to inventors
and gurus
• Applies basic statistical laws in their simplest forms to resolve engineering
problems
• Provides simple techniques for addressing the issues software engineers face
The book starts off by reviewing the essential facts about data. Next, it supplies
a detailed review and summary of metrics, including development, maintenance,
test, and agile metrics. The third section covers the fundamental laws of probability
and statistics and the final section presents special data patterns in the form of
tailed mathematical distributions.
In addition to selecting simpler and more flexible tools, the authors have also
simplified several standard techniques to provide you with the set of intellectual
tools all software engineers and managers require.
