Objectives and Introductions Quest for Software Analytics Times are Changing Perspectives Future Directions


High level understanding of the importance of perspective with software analytics

Disruptive change and progress Measurement and analytics to gain real-life

perspectives Information regarding industry perceptions Open doors for the future to mature metrics

and analytics


Explore data and perform analysis Assemble data so it provides context and

perspectives Enables insightful, value focused decision

making Supports multiple stakeholders (business,

developers and managers)

Many Organizations have Software Analytics Initiatives


Increase business revenue Improve on meeting commit Improve Time-to-Market for new products Optimize response time Reduce costs for development Increase “hits” to site Optimize resource allocation


“Measurement” is of the 5 “essential cloud characteristics” using the internationally accepted NIST Cloud Computing Definition

Metrics and Measurement are part of almost every Standards Development Organization (SDO) initiative in 2013

“Big Data” with complex analytics is very hotly contested subject area

Human data collection vs automated collection? “PC Today September 2013 - :”you can’t manage

what you don’t measure” – article “ Cooler Data Center Better RIO”

Need to be current analytics Can’t rely on the past Need extensions to innovate

Auction Time


110 meters

120 yards

65 ml

$8500

670 hours

86 days

120 Function Points

25 Defects


Provides situational awareness Paints a picture



DRAFT!

98% take path “A”Of those 99 % are injury free

2% take path “B”Of those 80% are injury free

Shoes reduces risk by 70%

6 Feet Carried up on backboard45 Minutes ride in ambulance28Number of staples and stitches

Took a stupid path, but had no dataValue of vacation not maximized


Vertical descent 1,713 meters Longest run 15,200 meters Tree “dead ahead” 10 meters Tree approaching right 7 meters Tree approaching left 5 meters Snow depth 1 meter Speed 5 meters/ second Trees all appear 3 meters high


Tree “dead” ahead actually 12 meters high Cliff 9 meters high Between cliff and tree .5 meter Distance to chair lift 10 meters


“Don’t Follow Me !”“OK !” 1.5 meter long green snowboard Falling towards me from 7 meters “I thought you said, ‘Follow Me!’”


Together they maximize your ROI and reduce risk

Business and Software Measures ARE NOT Mutually exclusive!

Business MeasuresBusiness Value

Software MeasuresSolution Costs


NIST CMMi OGF DMTF TM Forum OASIS OMG ITU-T itSMF OWASP


Bunch of other “Open” and private sector groups too !

IFPUG BFPUG NESMA ISBSG COSMIC


Partner Cooperate Collaborate Communicate

Value and Context Focused


Need to collect data into current categories of interest

Need to refine analytics algorithms Value focused analytics for improving

confidence of IT delivery


World has changed!

Software metrics communities should collaborate

Perception is functional size communities are dysfunctional

Perception is that we do not provide insights needed today

Communities value proposition? Look forward Can’t change the past Do we want to influence industry perceptions?


Information Communication Technology MaturityThe ICT community is composed of multiple industries whose domain of focus can be drastically different. Working with embedded systems, telecommunication or software doesn’t require the same set of expertise. It can make the interpretation of what metrics are very different. In addition the definition of metrics and related measures are not always at the same level of maturity in all domains. Physical properties can be measured using a standardized metrology process. Software properties measurement on the other hand has some associated standards like functional size measurement methods [3][4][5] however it is not yet at the level of physical metrology. This can create situations where similar metrics are defined and are not consistent across the ICT community or cannot be measured with the same level of confidence.
