Industry Reviews

From the reviews:

"The continuous improvement of software processes has been a managerial focus for several decades. This book, written by Norwegian academics, 'mainly targets researchers and graduate students in empirical software engineering.' ... The papers are varied and well written ... . Academics in both information technology and software engineering will find a basis for further research projects in this title." (David Bellin, Computing Reviews, December, 2006)
