SQuORING Technologies - Software engineering tools, drill down analysis software

Why SQuORE ?

Intuitive

Some may consider that software engineering tools are for software engineers,… we clearly do not!

Even if they are quick-minded, software engineers already have so many complex environments to master that additional ones should definitively not increase their load.

Learnability and operability have been clearly in mind of the SQuORE designers. No need for complex setup for checking and reviewing pieces of code as with so many static analyzers. No need for long training sessions to follow the trend of a key performance indicator or drill-down to detailed data.

Open

Some may consider that “one model fits all” [or “the rule applies to all”],… We clearly do not!

Indeed, as in real life where there is no definitive or ultimate threshold for speed limitation, assessing the level of performance of software processes and products shall definitively take into account expected objectives, applicable regulations and standards, risks to be minimized, current practices, level of maturity, …

So, since the very beginning, SQuORE has been designed to satisfy the high level requirement of being fully open.

This implies allowing the user to adapt every component of the evaluation process:

• the “data providers”: there are tools already in place, let’s take advantage of them …
• the measures to be collected,
• the applicable thresholds,
• the association between indicators and product characteristics,
• the priority management functions : remediation cost, expected benefits, considered risks, …
• the decision criteria,
• the information to be reported to the stakeholders,

A key condition for smoothing the cultural change that always implies the Measurement & Analysis process.

Scalable

Some may consider that their infrastructure is a bit special,… we clearly agree!

Hopefully, SQuORE is based on traditional “3-tier” architecture. Getting access to the results just needs a Web Browser.

Whatever your context:

• a single auditor with a stand-alone laptop ,
• an regular software development team with Continuous Integration, or
• a large-sized organization with distributed teams all over the world,

there is a SQuORE configuration that fits your IT operational requirements.
