The Performance Monitoring Framework for Personal Software Processes

Abstract

To reduce defect density in Personal Software Process, we introduce a novel PSP framework. We experiment using sample software codes to see how to improve developers’ productivity. We record the tasks performed by the developers into a log file on a daily basis and use it to evaluate their performance. The experimental results helped us formulate pertinent guidelines which can be used to improve software quality and enhance performance, productivity, and efficiency of the developers. We also identify different process levels where each level has comprehensive scripts, check lists and templates to help developers adopt the mandatory steps in the Personal Software Process environment. The proposed framework can help automatically schedule and list activities of the individual developers. This paper proposes a framework that caters for monitoring the performance of software engineers invariably in the PSP environment. For this purpose, a prototype time-logging model has also been developed under the Java platform that captures keystrokes and mouse clicks to automatically analyze productivity of software engineers with respect to the tasks assigned to them.
