What is Active Time and how do you measure it ?
Active time is an effort metric that is collected while you are working with Visual Studio IDE
We, simply monitor the events you trigger inside Visual Studio IDE and know wheter you are actively using VS or not

No. We just store metric values in your local computer so that we can show trends

Why dev \ efor is free ?
We thought dev \ efor would be very useful for students, academicians, developers and those who care about their productivity and code quality.
Therefore, we released client add-in of dev \ efor for free as a community edition. Soon, we will release Enterprise Edition dev \ efor which will bring cool features and that will be the deal.

I can't see my projects listed in dev \ efor window, what am i missing ?
That is because you don't have an open solution in visual studio. The projects are listed when you are working on a solution in visual studio.

I can't see any metrics collected except Active Time in my project ? What's going on ?

Possible Reasons
  • You are dealing with a Web Site, therefore, we can't measure code metrics for Web Site, instead, only effort metric (Active Time) is measured for Web Site. You should consider working with an ASP.NET Web Application project...
  • You are dealing with a native C++ project such as MFC or ATL... Code Metrics are measured for Managed Assemblies
  • You don't have a successful build for the project you are working on. Metrics are measured & Stored only when you have a successful build.
