ODC Application

• The technology of ODC creates measurements out of the meta data (defects, changes, issues) on the product and the process.
• The core measurement system for software is fixed.
• But the analysis methods vary. It varies by application.
• This system provides a wide scope of applications
• The applications of ODC analysis is where the power lies
• Business problems and Technical problems can be addressed

Core Categories

The red dot in the center represents the defect, or change, or issue, or delta. The semantic information in this delta/defect is extracted into categories represented by these four primary dimensions. These data are related to each other on a per event basis. The data is not analyzed on a per event basis but is aggregated over other dimensions such as time, release, product, sikll group or customer groups.

This in a nutshell captures the mechanics of what is done. How one reads the analysis and turns that insight into action is a different discussion.
