Hello there,
As you know, after we released dev\efor, now the development phase is more transperent for us so that we can find out about correlations between code metrics and make better estimates with efforts spent for particular projects…
Since this is our aim, we’d like to share some correlations we find out in terms of trends for code metrics…
This should be obvious, but i’d like to show you with real project datas…

After 1 month of our initial release, here we are with our new release of dev\efor (beta 2)
In this release, we fixed some issues pointed out by the community which are..
VJ# dependecy sucks ! – > Agreed. We don’t have dependecy to VJ# anymore.
More dynamic charting abilites -> Agreed. We have a very dynamic charting abilities at this release. Check out the video or manual
Fix installation bugs for x64 based OS ! -> We did.
In addition to those, we improved the code and now, dev\efor is sharper faster better stronger : )
Now, download the new release and don’t forget to let us know what you think !
Cheers !
Ersan.

Hello there,
When we released dev \ efor, i kindly asked a good friend of mine if he can use and provide some results for the community and he said ok..
Now, let’s analyse the results…

Let’s face it… Even we call it “Engineering” about the production of “Software”, the reality is, Software production is still a “Craftsmanship” but it is evolving to engineering…
Many ISV’s don’t use the ALM (Application Lifecycle Management) best practices such as SCM (Software Configuration Management) or Bug Tracking… For instance, only 1 of 4 ISV, whose mainstream development technology is .NET platform, use TFS (Team Foundation Server) according to Tech-ed Keynote speech in 2007 at Barcelona.
Therefore, many software projects fail, most of them are challenging according to Chaos Report from Standish Group.
So, Software “Engineers” will continue to search for a “Silver Bullet”…
At this point, here at Codart, we thought, if it is about Software Developers and if Software is a Craftsmanship, why not focusing on software developers and monitor their development progress ?
So, we developed dev \ efor an addin for Visual Studio which will monitor development progress in terms of Software and Effort metrics…
dev \ efor helps you to “control” what you can measure. Therefore, it will give you a clear insight about ongoing development progress…
Is it a “Silver Bullet” ? Far from it… But we believe, it will bring transparency to the development phase and will guide you about your real development progress.
So, give dev \efor a try and let us know your experience with it…
