Show 53 is an interview with Capers Jones discussing software measurement. As with any conversation with Capers we explored a wide range of topics in the software development world.  As usual, Capers was his provocative self! Capers biography is long and storied.  Let it be said that Capers is a serial author (he currently working on book 16).  Capers founded Software Process Research.  He is a public speaker, pundit, guru, and deep thinker.
