Abstract

The introduction of environment simulation to support tests of control software for automatic logistic systems is subject of a process improvement experiment (ESSI-PIE 27519 “PITIS”). To evaluate this method, a lean metric suite has been developed according to the GQM paradigm. In order to be accepted by the programmers, it is kept simple and user-friendly by integrating metric data acquisition into the interface of the version control tool for software modules. Project-wide metric results as well as global comparisons are presented to the developers through dynamically created HTML pages in the company-wide intranet
