Parasoft全局报告系统

GRS Product Overview

Parasoft Group Reporting System (GRS) is a decision support system that provides more visibility into and control of the software development process. It is a repository of software development metrics. GRS automatically collects and correlates a variety of development data from multiple sources, including code activity, test results, code coverage, requirements, and corrected bugs. It generates reports that allow users to answer questions like: "Does code meet coding standards?" and "What confidence fac­tor level was achieved?" In a nutshell, GRS provides details about software quality, implementation of new features, and software security.

GRS combines information from multiple sources, which allows users the ability to make objective decisions. The information that GRS gathers is organized in such a way that it is delivered to different user roles within the organization to support their decision system. GRS works as part of a comprehensive team-wide Automated Error Prevention solution that reduces delivery delays and improves the quality and security of complex, multi-language enterprise applications.

Benefits

• Allows for objective decision-making by collecting and combining information from multiple sources for reporting purposes.
• Provides insight into outsourced application development to determine code quality, whether code is being produced at an appropriate rate, how much of the specification is implemented, along with other outsourcing concerns.
• Expedites the evaluation of developed code, which is useful in time-pressure situations such as migrating to a new language or architecture, as well as mergers and acquisitions.
• Reveals and removes defects in the software, then demonstrates the improvements in the code quality.
• Reduces debugging cycles by identifying specific problems and problem areas quickly.
• Verifies software compliance with established security requirements to ensure safety from attacks.
• Assists in quest to meet quality and process improvement requirements, such as CMM, ISO, Six Sigma, and so on. Moreover, enables tracking of software development metrics and shows whether those metrics are improving over time.

Features

• Built-in adaptors that allow GRS to automatically collect analysis results from the Parasoft Jtest, C++test and .TEST family of automated software analysis tools (AEP technologies) along with source code changes from the market-leading source control systems.
• Custom adaptors that allow GRS to automatically collect data from any data sources.
• Relational database that stores information from various AEP technologies, which is used for statistical analysis and historical system behavior.
• Data collector that receives data from AEP technologies.
• Reporting engine that uses a Web-based interface to show a variety of statistical reports for data collected from AEP technologies, as well as other sources, such as a bug tracking system, and then correlate all collected data into a report.
• User dashboards that display gathered information specifically for various types of users, such as architects, managers, developers, and testers.

Platforms

• Windows 2000 and XP
• Linux
