Objective
Since the cost of repairing faults in software is considerably higher later in the development process, it is essential to obtain as small as possible fault tolerance throughout the complete development cycle. Denkart's objective is to reduce the workload by automating and streamlining the code inspection process. Our goal is to build an automated frame-work which can be used in any software development cycle.
THE EXPERIMENT
To achieve the above mentioned objective, we will design and build an automated system which gives the biggest benefit, meaning reduced workload and smallest fault tolerance. During the baseline project we will concurrently do manual code reviews and run static and dynamic code analysis tools to determining the software quality factor. The results of the reviews and the resulting metrics will be combined to find a correlation. Out of this correlation report we will be able to make an automated selection of sources which have to be manually reviewed. By using the metric tools we will already exclude part of the faults while the automatic selection system will make sure the critical sources get reviewed.
Though the framework must be applicable to any software development project we will use one of Denkart's typical legacy business application migration projects as baseline project.
Denkart employs 35 people of which 7 will be involved in the ACIQIM PIE.
EXPECTED IMPACT AND EXPERIENCE
By setting up the automated framework for code reviewing and selection Denkart will not only have build a mechanism useful for every development process, but we will also gain understanding in metrics (automatically and manually collected) and their relation towards software quality. Furthermore it will raise the quality issue to the level of developers and management which is important regarding the culture change needed to build a quality conscious company.
