The code fundamentals report package gives you the ability to see your team across four fundamental productivity metrics, and how they compare to industry benchmarks. Benchmarks can be toggled On or Off within the platform, while the Minimum and Target values are fully customizable.
Our review and collaboration report package provides a way for software teams to see the ground truth of what’s happening in the code review process. You can create your own organizational targets for each set of metrics: Submit, Review and Collaborate. Setting targets for each metric will assist you in improving the effectiveness of your team’s code review process as a whole. Set your targets based on your historical organizational trends.
Set customized code fundamentals targets
- Navigate to the Settings menu then under Report Settings from the left navigation click Targets.
- Under the Code tab, you will see industry benchmarks for the four code fundamental metrics based on three distinct behavior profiles.
Occasional contributors are people that work within the code base infrequently. Primary contributors are where you should find the bulk of the full time software developers - where the goal is to design and write software for your customers. The leading contributors are the highest numbers in the Industry. - With these industry benchmarks in mind, you can begin to set customized minimum and target values for your entire org. All of the values set for org targets will be inherited by every team and individual. You can also set targets at the team level and the user level.
- To add targets at the team or user level, click on the box you want to change and type in the numeric value you want to override it with.
