Software Analytics
👨💻 Developers' Edition 👩💻
Use data-driven analysis to fix your software systems.
What is "Software Analytics?"
This is the best definition of Software Analytics I know so far:
Software analytics is analytics on software data for managers and software engineers with the aim of empowering software development individuals and teams to gain and share insight from their data to make better decisions.
-- Tim Menzies, Thomas Zimmermann in "Software Analytics: So What?, IEEE Software, vol. 30"
Why "Developers' Edition"?
Software Analytics comes in many flavors. Having its origin in Empirical Software Engineering, it could seem theoretical and academic at first glance to many people. My goal is to make Software Analytics valuable to all software practitioners. With the "Developers' Edition", I try to provide especially developers with enough knowledge and tools so they can analyze their very context-specific problems in a data-driven way. (and "Developers' Edition" also fitted perfectly to the .de TLD ;-) )

About Me

Hi, I'm Markus. I'm passionate about improving the way we work in software development. I work as a consultant at INNOQ in Germany, where my focus is reviewing and modernizing software systems. For my work, I also use data analysis to make the root causes of problems in software systems and their environment more understandable. On this website, I've gathered all the things I did so far in this area. With this, I hope to give you, too, enough pointers for diving into this wonderful topic! |
