Empirical project monitor: a tool for mining multiple project data
M. Ohira · 2004
Project management for effective software process improvement must be achieved based on quantitative data. However, because data collection for measurement requires high costs and collaboration with developers, it is difficult to collect coherent, quantitative data continuously and to utilize the data for practicing software process improvement. Here, we describe empirical project monitor (EPM) which automatically collects and measures data from three kinds of repositories in widely used software development support systems such as configuration management systems, mailing list managers and issue tracking systems. Providing integrated measurement results graphically. EPM helps developers/managers keep projects under control in real time.
