Squore: Analytics for Projects Monitoring

Optimization of Software Project Management

Squore enables project managers to optimize the monitoring of every type of software and systems development project by providing real-time access to the most relevant and actionable indicators.

• Adapted to your software development methods: Agile or waterfall projects
• With wide coverage: Software projects, Software and Systems projects
• Meeting user's needs: Code quality monitoring, Process monitoring, Project monitoring "on time, on cost, on quality, on resources"
• Enabling application portfolio management: the Squore dashboard provides easy comparison with other similar projects for objective decision-making

A Range of Solutions Adapted to Different Levels of Maturity

Whatever the maturity of internal development processes, Squore provides a best-fit solution for optimizing the quality of software developments, and managing projects with strong normative constraints.

• Turnkey solution: Squore/Software Analytics offers a standard and fully operational solution with prebuilt analysis and decision models allowing to ensure the quality of your software developments
• Integration of Squore within already proven processes and key performance indicators:  Squore will seamlessly interface with every in-house standards and processes, thanks to its ability to integrate every kind of data and KPI and its easily customizable dashboard and analysis models

Advantages

• A comprehensive and accurate overview of the quality and performance of project portfolio
• Accurate and real-time monitoring of project health: quality trend, process compliance
• Early high-risk projects detection, prevention of deviations from plans
• Decision-making support for an optimized project monitoring thanks to prioritized action plans
• All project data gathered in a unique repository

Continuous Quality Checking

Squore automates continuous quality checking, helping development teams benefit from Agile/DevOps processes.

• Continuous integration including delta versioning analysis

• Real-time overview of code quality

• Quick location of regressions

• Early detection of defect and risky constructions

• Automatically generated action plans for an effective reduction of Technical Debt

• Collaborative module to share remediation strategies within development teams

Advantages

• Better reliability thanks to daily verification of the quality of developments
• Unleashing innovation: avoiding late rework and maintaining the technical debt at an acceptable level frees up more time for delivering innovative features
• Better efficiency: defect correction becomes simpler and more efficient from the Squore dashboard, which provides easy access in 3 clicks from the global rating down to the line of code to be fixed

Optimization of Test Activities

Squore enables project teams to optimize test activities by focusing on critical components according to the test strategy.

• Testing strategy monitoring via a comprehensive overview of development progress through key performance indicators and trend analysis: immediate detection of regressions, test failures, deviation from plans

• Customizable and scalable analysis and decision models according to testing strategy evolution, up to optimized action plans generation

• Risk-based testing strategy from decision criteria adapted to each type of test: Unit Test, Integration, Regression

• Consideration of the different kinds of risks: functional criticality, specific environment and constraints of the project, code complexity and stability, risks associated to development teams experience and technical skills

• In-depth analysis where at-risk components are immediately identified, down to the most elementary function or method. Squore recommends testing techniques to be applied according to the level of risk computed from collected measures

Advantages

• More competitive testing processes, without compromising final system quality via the implementation of a risk-based testing strategy

• More reliability by focusing the test strategy on critical, complex, unstable but under covered pieces of code

• Minimizing acceptance time and cost

• Growing customer/supplier confidence thanks to the achievement of a level of quality based on shared and quantified acceptance criteria

• Continuously improving validation process via performance and trend indicators

Quality at Every Stage of the Project Lifecycle

With Squore, quality becomes a central focus all along the project lifecycle.

• Unification of development methods and associated tools, such as configuration management tools, requirements management tools, testing tools...

• Data aggregation and analysis results through a single quality model

• Compliance of software development processes with existing Quality management system

• Tooling support for software development process improvement plan

• Assessment of industrial standard compliance with Squore Source Code Analyzer and external data sources

• Quality Indicators reporting features to general management or within an audit

Advantages

• An objective and real-time evaluation to manage software developments quality

• A common and shared quality reference for enhanced team collaboration

• Identification and broadcast of best practices by capitalizing and analyzing past project data

• Automated report generation in various formats (PPT, PDF)

An All-In-One Solution to Evaluate Software Compliance

Squore provides a dynamic access to audit results via an interactive dashboard, and create comprehensive reports with just one click.

• Meeting different needs:  audit, acceptance, valuation of software assets
• Objective and comprehensive overview of projects in all phases: development, maintenance, transmission, benchmarking
• Multi-dimensional analysis of the application, from general project level down to requirements details, source code, etc…
• Ability to choose either turnkey solutions including pre-built quality models by industrial domain or by standard (ISO 9126, SQALE, …), or analysis and decisions models adapted to specific requirements
• Integrated native source code analyzers available for a wide range of languages, combinable with data from third party tools via our plugins (other source code analyzers, programming rules verification tools, dynamic analyzers, technical facts management tools, configuration management tools, requirements management tools…)

Advantages

• Simpler and more complete audits, for a reliable and full assessment of project quality against standards or requirements to be met

• Permanent access to audit data via a secure web-based interface allowing to display and share results

• A tool-based audit report, providing navigation through results via an interactive dashboard

• Automated report generation in various formats (PPT, PDF)

Tools Integrations

Thanks to its comprehensive set of more than 50 ready-to-use plugins, Squore Software Analytics automatically collects and aggregates with its own results the measures from the various third-party tools already in use in your environment. 

Continuous Integration

Squore allows full automation of data collection and continuous build thanks to its compatibility with Continuous Integration frameworks. This allows to produce periodic project rating without any manual intervention, and to provide historical and trend analysis of the project's evolution. Squore integrates with frameworks such as:

• Jenkins
• GitLab

REST API

Squore includes a full REST API which you can use to retrieve every data from Squore: projects, versions, artefacts, metrics, findings, highlights, etc...
