Environment for Metrics Evaluation (EME)
Designed specifically for the Metrics Research Team at Ball
State University, EME provides an integrated environment for
the analysis and evaluation of metrics. This program was
designed to be general enough to be used by other engineers
and researchers who have a need for metrics assessment.
There are seven major parts to EME:
-
retrofitting
-
designed to merge multiple sets of metrics into one set.
For example, metrics may be collected from different sources
and the need to combine these metrics into one set can be
accomplished by retrofitting.
-
set analysis
-
evaluates queries on metrics.
-
timeslicing
-
tracks metric values over time and evaluates changes.
-
tools
-
user can add his/her favorite metrics collection tool.
Our environment includes DMAA and DMAC.
-
calculator
-
integrated calculator which is specific to metrics evaluation.
For example, the AVG button, calculates the average on a given
metric for all the records.
-
reporting
-
similar in appearance to a spreadsheet, output can
easily be moved and manipulated to create clear,
informative reports.
-
graphing
-
bar charts, pie charts and line graphs.
Status: Prototype completed.
