Use Cases

Assess compliance with engineering standards
From big-picture trends across multiple projects, teams and locations to detailed drill-down analyses, SourceIQ automates compliance reporting against engineering standards to help you achieve development governance.


The SourceIQ solution also:
Tracks projects based on activity, and traces progress based on your defined KPIs and standards
Expands the management focus to include upstream activities and artifacts and to enhance root-cause analysis for issues occurring downstream in development, in quality assurance (QA) and in production.
Visualizes and communicates change as it occurs, enabling you to manage and reduce variance from forecasted resources, delivery dates and quality levels.

Reduce risk and cost

The SourceIQ solution’s deep integration with leading SCM products and with powerful assessment technologies automates the delivery of management dashboards that pinpoint at-risk code and bad development processes. Tap into the rich set of facts and metrics obtainable from your existing development infrastructure to derive insights into efficient work, scrapped work and rework for critical projects. SourceIQ produces historical trends as well as moment-in-time snapshots so you can see where you’ve been, know where you are and predict where you’re going. Senior managers can enjoy a common view across the many teams, projects and locations that may be using different technologies and processes.

Drive innovation
Empower teams to achieve engineering excellence by supporting best practices from requirements definition to production. SourceIQ lets project managers, developers and QA testers collaborate and innovate based on a shared understanding of project composition and change patterns. By applying KPIs, Agile and traditional teams alike can better prioritize development activities, optimize the allocation of development resources, track progress toward goals and increase team performance.

Metrics

SourceIQ metrics fall into two basic categories: process metrics and quality metrics.
Process metrics capture source code changes over time, as derived from the change histories captured in the supported SCMs, as well as analytics of revision-over-revision changes to files (e.g., sLOC, cLOC, eLOC, wLOC).
Quality metrics identify language specific issues and assessments in individual revisions.  These metrics are drawn from all revisions of the appropriate language-specific files, and analyses created from them provide an easy and early insight into potential development problems.
