I am writing an article regarding innovation that comes about from the creation / documentation of process and process improvements. Being experienced...
None of the CMMI experts have answered this, so I will throw out my heretical take on this in an attempt to spur thought and discussion. How you are developing...
Erika, It sounds like you are focused pretty much on the M&A process area that supports all the other process areas. Before you think about a tool solution,...
Erika, In addition to the other contributors, I resonate with your suggestion to use hard measures (e.g., SLOC) to indicate progress. Since size, in one form...
The CMMI does speak about progress monitoring in the PMC PA. Specifically it suggests using milestones (can be mini milestones as in agile development), cost...
The only reason lines of code has been measured so much in the past is that it is easy to measure. Lines of code is not a valid measurement of value or...
To echo Steven's point, I have been involved with a significant number of organisations using the CMM(I) over the past 15 years, and I can't think of any that...
Firs of all , thank you all for your comments. Thanks to all your contributions I have found some interesting stuff like PSM and Measurement and analysis in...
Mr. Gordon, You are absolutely correct. LOC is not a measure of value or productivity, rather it is a fundamental measure of SIZE. Just as you wouldn't...
Mr. Epstein, Although you don't offer an alternative to LOC for measuring software size, I have been involved with several companies at CMM level 3 and above...
Dear Friends, We are trying to count the function points from the developed java code to arrive at SLOC to Function point relation. please can you help me...
Erika, The situation you describe is not unusual in that an outsource provider is brought in to augment a team in order to crank out a large project in a short...
James, If you estimate that the size of a project should be 1 million lines of code, your margin of error must be quite large. Even +/- 200,000 LOC would be...
Erika, It is my opinion that if you continue on the same course, you will still be in the same position several months from now. You will just have a more ...
James, I completely agreed with you. The way you just described could have been the best one for such a project, unfortunately I believe our company did not ...
Steven, I gree, I understood, since we are talking about sw development It is hard to know the exact amount of hours used to build a certain case of use. And ...
Mr. Gordon, Your logic holds water, but your approach still requires an estimate of the total number of slices of functionality in order to determine %...

Hi, I have been reading some articles on Test Coverage Analysis.. like.. comparing the functional tests with the code - code coverage analysis, comparing with...
First, I would like to point out that I am in the Process Improvement business, I have no axe to grind in the size counting tool business. Second, I would like...

I decided to build upon "Lean Six Sigma" and coin my own phrase and group before someone else stole it. Agile Six Sigma is better than Lean Six Sigma because...
thx for the input.. did help a bit.. was kinda looking for some kind of a tool or something that could make the process easier ?! any ideas. ?! thx in...
There are tools that compute test coverage metrics from running automated tests, so I assume your problem is either linking your requirements to your automated...
Hi Steve, thx for the feedback.. We have multi issues now: 1. We do not have automated tests.. but, we have started with the process 2. We do not have...
For me, test coverage means what percentage of the code is exercised when the automated tests are run. We are using a product from http://www.cenqua.com/ to...
