Software architecture metrics are used to measure the maintainability and architectural quality of a software project, and to provide warnings early in the process about any dangerous accumulations of architectural or technical debt. In this book, 10 leading hands-on practitioners (Christian Ciceri, David Farley, Neal Ford, Andrew Harmel-Law, Michael Keeling, Carola Lilienthal, João Rosa, Alexander von Zitzewitz, Rene Weiss, and Eoin Woods) introduce key software architecture metrics that every software architect should know. The architects in this group have all published renowned software architecture articles and books, regularly participate in international events, and give practical workshops.
We all strive to balance theory and practice. This book, however, is not about theory; it’s about practice and implementation, about what has already been tried and has worked, with valuable experiences and case studies. We focus not only on improving the quality of architecture but on associating objective metrics with business outcomes in ways that account for your own situation and the trade-offs involved.
We conducted a survey and found that there is strong demand for software architecture metrics resources, yet very few are available. We hope this contribution will make a difference and help you set the right KPIs and measure the results accurately and insightfully.
