Quantative monitoring of software development by time-based and intercheckpoint monitoring

摘要

The paper provides an extension to the methods of monitoring originally developed in the paper by Kitchenham and Walker 1. It discusses how time-based analysis of the metric information can be used to provide a more continuous form of monitoring to complement the approach taken in that paper. This extension is of particular importance to large or long time scale projects when considerable time and effort is expended between checkpoints.
