Oholoh: QA Metrics are Where It’s At

I recently read about Ohloh on Slashdot and thought, “Wow — that’s almost useful.” Unfortunately, SLOC is a sloppy count of productivity no matter how you cut it. I think that there’s a much better idea hiding in there — in fact, I wrote one of my final college papers on the topic. For those […]

A recent visitor, one Michael Schultz, requested some functionality that (essentially) combined the two […]

Locating Bugs Through Records

A customer calls up having a horrible problem with your software in a live environment. They aren’t privy to the internals of your application, and don’t really want to be — they just want the problem fixed. You can’t send over a dev with a debugger, or have them try several different versions to see […]
