The book [b:The Technical and Social History of Software Engineering|17350042|The Technical and Social History of Software Engineering|Capers Jones|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1379327750s/17350042.jpg|24091276] starts by describing the human drive towards faster computation, followed by 9 chapters that cover developments in software engineering from 1930 until 2010.

Major software failures that have happened in these years are explored in a separate chapter. The final chapter of the book describes ongoing developments and provides a projection of the future until 2019.

This is not a book you would read cover to cover, but one you would go back and refer to again and again when you need information about software metrics. Apart from descriptions of methods and approaches for software measurements and metrics, it provides a wealth of metrics data from around the world - an invaluable reference for benchmarking. Every software engineering practitioner should have this book in his library.
