Software metrics analysis and visualization tool
Abstract:
S-Metrics Visualizer is a software development metrics acquisition and visualization tool for Windows. Throughout the software development process managers must be aware of the current status, timeline, risk, and resource demands of their projects. Software products commonly end up
requiring more time and money than initially expected and, even with the amount of expended resources, projects often do not meet their initial
requirements specifications. Looking back after the development is
completed, one can often attribute the slippage in delivery expectations to a cascade of seemingly small problems that occur throughout the projectâ„¢s evolution. Software metrics help managers to better monitor the progress of their software products, making them more capable to actively respond to changing conditions and dynamic workplace environments. This paper presents aspects of the software modeling of S-Metrics Visualizer, a
tool used to assist project managers to deliver their products on time and within budget.
