Software Modeling of S-Metrics Visualizer: Synergetic Interactive Metrics Visualization Tool

摘要

S-Metrics Visualizer is a software development metrics acquisition and visualization tool for Windows. Throughout the software development process managers must be aware of the current status, timeline, risk, and resource demands of their projects. Software products commonly end up requiring more time and money than initially expected and, even with the amount of expended resources, projects often do not meet their initial requirements specifications. Looking back after the development is completed, one can often attribute the slippage in delivery expectations to a cascade of seemingly small problems that occur throughout the project's evolution. Software metrics help managers to better monitor the progress of their software products, making them more capable to actively respond to changing conditions and dynamic workplace environments. This paper presents aspects of the software modeling of S-Metrics Visualizer, a tool used to assist project managers to deliver their products on time and within budget.
