About
The goal of the project is to increase the quality and
efficiency as well as reduce the costs and time-to-market of software
engineering in Europe. By implementing a comprehensive set of tools for
automated and continuous measurement, this project provides a toolset
for future projects to properly measure their impact. More importantly,
it opens a new field for innovation. The real innovation will be in the
advanced analytics of the measurement data enabled by the project.
To reach this ambitious goal, the project will iteratively and incrementally:
1) Define better metrics and develop methods and tools for automated, precise,
and unbiased measurement of software engineering activities and artefacts.
2) Develop methods and tools for analysing the big data produced by the
continuous measurement to enable continuous improvement of performance.
3) Validate the developed metrics and measurement tools by integrating them
into software development environments and processes of the industrial
partners, and iteratively improve them based on the feedback gathered from the
industry.
4) Validate the developed analysis tools by analysing the data gathered from
the industrial partners and measuring the impact of the improvements suggested
by the analysis tools. A practical example of a measurement-based suggestion
could be pointing out an area of source code not covered by automated test
suite and generating new targeted test automation scripts based on manual test
cases recorded during continuous measurement.
5) Support management decision making by visualizing the results of continuous
measurement at targeted level of abstraction, i.e., providing different
visualization or even completely different metrics for developers and managers.
