Searching under the Streetlight for Useful Software Analytics

Philip M. Johnson

Abstract

For more than 15 years, researchers at the Collaborative Software Development Laboratory at the University of Hawaii at Manoa have looked for analytics that help developers understand and improve development processes and products. This article reviews that research and discusses the trade-off between studying easily obtained analytics and studying richer analytics with higher overhead.
