PSPCAT: A PSP data collection and analysis tool

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

The discipline of Personal Software Process (PSP) can help developers to understand their ability, improve their software process, and increase their productivity and software quality. However, to improve the software process, developers need to gather their own process data. This does impose substantial overhead to developers. This paper presents an Eclipse plug-in tool that can help developers to measure and analyze their software process based on the principles of PSP. Specifically, the program size, process time, and defect data can be collected automatically or semi-automatically using the tool. In addition, the tool can provide valuable process information, such as the size and time statistics, defect distribution, and productivity, to help developers to assess their performance and to improve their software process.
