DevCreek

Welcome to DevCreek! We are a community dedicated to improving software quality through the collection, analysis and sharing of project metrics.

"You can't manage what you don't measure." - W.E. Deming

DevCreek provides an open, free service that helps software development teams monitor, analyze and learn from metrics collected by their ongoing project activities. By providing real-time feedback and aggregating historical project data, DevCreek aims to establish project and community-based metrics that encourage good software development practices.

Featured Project: TestCreek

Development of the DevCreek website itself and the DevCreek Eclipse plug-in.

Lies, Damn Lies, and DevCreek – 2007-09-07

Variously attributed to Benjamin Disraeli, or Mark Twain, I have long been a fan of the quote; "There are three kinds of lies: Lies, damn lies, and statistics". For me, this quote has always rung particularly true in the world of software development.
