Magic Behind the Numbers – Software Metrics In Practice
We use static code analysis tools more often these days that create great reports and funky graphs. But do we understand what it all means?
Software metrics tends to be magic numbers for a lot of people, but they don’t really have to be. Seb will introduce you to a few basic, the most popular software metrics and tools. He will explain to you what they mean and how you can use them to produce better software.
