Metrics measurement and management

Objetivo

The goal of our project is to improve our competitiveness by establishing metrics and a measurement organisation in order to have the opportunity for continuous improvement based on facts. The objectives are to make better estimates in the future, to be able to compare with industry performance and to get better understanding of our processes. We want to be able to define a quality policy in numerical terms.

THE EXPERIMENT

KoDa GmbH a small software house in Würzburg (10 employees and the same amount of freelancers), Germany is developing software mostly for commercial applications (i.e. business oriented systems) making use of various UNIX-systems (e.g. solaris), relational database systems (Oracle, watcom), case tools (Innovator of MID GmbH, Nürnberg) and graphical user interface tools (JAM of JYACC Inc., New York) in a client server environment together with MS-Windows. Our development process is oriented to the V-model. This builds the general framework of our experiment.
Our project is organised in different main steps.
At first we have to evaluate the different approaches and tools, that can support our measurement organisation.
This step is followed by training and adjustment of the methods and tools. The work of integration of the tools (building the organisational framework and support our work by scripts and the like) will be done at different stages of our experiment i.e. our baseline project. The baseline project will cover the whole life cycle and a small amount of maintenance time of a part of our own administrative software.
With respect to our metrics and measurement organisation we will have to define and agree about the metrics, that we want to use, about the way we collect the figures and analyse them, the lines of reporting and the introduction of further improvements. Consulting will be necessary for this.
We will also build a history database.
Another topic we have to deal with is the way we can introduce additional metrics also in the future based on our first experiences. Of course we want to know the amount of work we have to offer for such an organisation.

EXPECTED IMPACT AND EXPERIENCE

After the experiment we expect to have a tool supported, well documented and feasible management of measurements integrated into our software life cycle.
The metrics and the measurement organisation will serve us in different ways: on one hand we will have figures and statistics about the amount of time and work a project needs and we will have these estimates in an early stage of a new project, be it a customer driven and ordered project or be it an internal project e.g. to build a product for the market. On the other hand we want the metrics to cover the size, complexity and the amount of work of the different life cycle steps, the amount and categories of errors detected at different stages and the extra workload of correcting them as well as the workload to integrate other change requests.
We think, that the results of our experiment will be very useful for all smaller software developing units in Europe, because they will know the amount of work to introduce to a similar organisation, have figures about its usefulness and can learn how to do it.
