The focus of this book is on Web measurement and its application to industrial case studies. Each chapter presents different measurement-related concepts (e.g. cost estimation, productivity measurement, quality measurement) followed by their application to industrial case studies, plus advice on applying each technique to practical situations. No other book in the market examines Web measurement in such breadth and with such practical emphasis. Readers will quickly grasp the usefulness and benefits of measurement and metrics, since all case studies depict real-world situations.

From the reviews:
"The book represents a respectable attempt to advance the concepts of the emerging discipline of Web engineering. It is mostly oriented towards technical management, and stresses empirical investigations and testing issues. This makes the book unique in the current market. … As most of the topics addressed are not covered sufficiently in other current literature, I recommend the book to Web practitioners. It can also be valuable educational material for graduate students." (M. Bielikova, Computing Reviews, August, 2006)
