  • Representative vs. non-representative measures: Bipolar disorder? 23 May 2013, 04:35 PM In my last post, I shared my opinion on the benefits of non-representative measures for some software risk mitigation use cases. But does that mean I am always better served by non-representative measures? Of course not. No bipolar disorder here, just a pragmatic approach to different use cases that are best handled with some adapted pieces of information. Risk level assessment — from decision to action In my previous post I wrote: “I don’t need to know — at first at least – if I have just improved but not solved the problem at hand.” When digging into the root cause of risky situations, no...
  • Individual Code Quality in an Enterprise Software Development World 17 May 2013, 12:56 PM Finding the right tools for the right challenge The growing cost of most software development efforts can be traced back to one underlying cause – the lack of visibility into the software. As the size and system complexity grows for business critical applications — along with the complexity of sourcing environments — there is an increasing need for app owners, architects, and developers to truly understand their codebases. Without visibility into the implementation, it is hard for a developer to understand all the nuances of the code. This explains the disproportional amount of time that is...
  • Do I look like someone who needs representative measures? 15 May 2013, 03:04 PM No offense, but I’m not addicted to representative measures. In some areas, I am more than happy to have them. Like when talking about the balance of my checking and savings accounts. In that case, I’d like representative measures, to the nearest cent. But I don’t need representative measures 100 percent of the time. On the contrary, in some areas, I strongly need non-representative measures to provide me with some efficient guidance. Risk level assessment One of those areas is software analysis and measurement; especially when you’re dealing with risk levels. Letting me know that an applic...
  • An Open Letter to Derivatives Exchange Operators 14 May 2013, 02:20 PM Dear Technology Colleagues at Derivatives Exchanges, I’m sure you do not need me to inform you that the investment community is becoming more aware of the importance of dependable software operating our exchanges. Yet many of your competitors have fallen victim to the reputational damage caused by software glitches. Many of us, as technology professionals and as individual investors, are shocked to see the escalating pace of major software outages reported by the exchanges and major market makers. Perhaps this is because most enterprises fail to wake up to their software risk until shamed i...
  • Code Quality as a Service 13 May 2013, 01:42 PM As the product manager for CAST Highlight, it’s refreshing to see a shift in discussions about the “quality of cloud solutions” to “cloud quality solutions.” Recently, there have been an increasing number of cloud-based static code quality analysis tools, or should I say services. A few that I’ve been watching include: Code Climate consolidates the results from a suite of Ruby static analysis tools into a real-time report, giving teams the information they need to identify hotspots, evaluate new approaches, and improve code quality. Codeq imports your Git repositories into a Datomic databas...
