Information systems typically contain 30-50% of redundant and up to 30% of unused code. These redundancies provide no benefits to the business, but entail enormous additional costs during further development, maintenance and operation, as well as an increased risk of defects.
In contrast to traditional industries, which measure there output in numbers of produced items, the IT industry does not have an established output measure and this no sound definition of productivity either. Controlling and management of software development are often limit to the costs and hardly take the produced software into account. Inefficiencies and redundancies, and thus significant potential, remain uncovered - although it is known that productivity of developers, teams and suppliers may vary up to a factor of 10.
Features
CloneView KPI Studio determines essential productivity and quality KPI, such as size, growth, change and clone coverage for your software systems and thus allows effective software project management and increase of productivity.
CloneView Workbench detects copies in programs (code clones) and supports their removal. This increases software quality, speeds up development and helps to reduce IT costs.
