Software Architecture Metrics: Case Studies to Improve the Quality of Your Architecture (Paperback)

Software architecture metrics are key to the maintainability and architectural quality of a software project and they can warn you about dangerous accumulations of architectural and technical debt early in the process. In this practical book, leading hands-on software architects share case studies to introduce metrics that every software architect should know.

This isn't a book about theory. It's more about practice and implementation, about what has already been tried and worked. Detecting software architectural issues early is crucial for the success of your software: it helps mitigate the risk of poor performance and lowers the cost of repairing those issues. Written by practitioners for software architects and software developers eager to explore successful case studies, this guide will help you learn more about decision and measurement effectiveness.

Through contributions from 10 prominent practitioners, this book shares key software architecture metrics to help you set the right KPIs and measure the results. You'll learn how to:

• Measure how well your software architecture is meeting your goals
• Choose the right metrics to track (and skip the ones you don't need)
• Improve observability, testability, and deployability
• Prioritize software architecture projects
• Build insightful and relevant dashboards

軟體架構指標是確保軟體專案可維護性和架構品質的關鍵，它們可以在早期階段警示您有關架構和技術債務的危險累積。在這本實用書中，領先的實踐型軟體架構師分享案例研究，介紹每位軟體架構師都應該了解的指標。

這不是一本關於理論的書。它更多關於實踐和實施，關於已經嘗試並且有效的方法。早期檢測軟體架構問題對於軟體的成功至關重要：它有助於減輕性能不佳的風險，並降低修復這些問題的成本。這本由實踐者為軟體架構師和軟體開發人員撰寫的指南，將幫助您更多地了解決策和測量的有效性。

通過10位知名實踐者的貢獻，本書分享了關鍵的軟體架構指標，幫助您設定正確的關鍵績效指標並測量結果。您將學習如何：

- 測量軟體架構是否達到目標
- 選擇要追蹤的正確指標（並跳過不需要的指標）
- 提升可觀察性、可測試性和可部署性
- 優先考慮軟體架構專案
- 建立具有洞察力和相關性的儀表板
