Analyzing a process of software defects handling using percentile-based metrics
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- monitoring one or more processes of software defect handling, to yield samples representative of defects handling duration;
generating one or more statistical metrics that are at least partially percentile-based, further based on the monitored samples and further responsive to user selection;
applying the generated one or more percentile-based statistical metric to real-time handling duration samples, to yield a percentile based analysis of the one or more processes of software defect handling; and
visually representing the percentile responsive to preferences specified by the user, wherein the visual representation exhibits a comparison of the percentile-based metric between two periods of time, such that improvement of the metric is visually distinguishable from deterioration thereof and from random noise,wherein at last one of;
the monitoring, the generating, and the applying, is carried out by at least one computer processor.

Abstract
A system for analyzing one or more process of software defect handling using one or more percentile-based statistical metric is provided herein. The system may include: a monitoring unit that is configured to monitor one or more processes of software defect handling, to yield monitored samples. The system further includes a percentile-based generator configured to generate one or more statistical metric that are at least partially based on percentile, further based on the monitored samples and further responsive to user selection; and a statistical calculation unit configured to apply the generated one or more statistical metric to real-time handling time samples obtained from the one or more processes of software defect handling, to yield a percentile-based analysis of the processes of software defect handling. The system may further include and a visual representation unit configured to visually present the percentile-based analysis responsive to preferences specified by the user.

11. A computer program product comprising:
-
a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having computer readable program embodied therewith, the computer readable program comprising; computer readable program configured to monitor one or more processes of software defect handling, to yield samples representative of defects handling duration; computer readable program configured to generate one or more percentile-based statistical metric, further based on the monitored samples and further responsive to user selection; computer readable program configured to apply the generated one or more statistical metric that is at least partially percentile-based, to real-time handling duration samples obtained from the one or more processes of software defect handling, to yield a percentile based analysis of the one or more processes of software defect handling; and computer readable program configured to visually represent the percentile-based analysis responsive to preferences specified by the user, wherein the visual representation exhibits a comparison of the percentile-based metric between two periods of time, such that an improvement of the metric is visually distinguishable from a deterioration thereof and from a random noise. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)
