PRQA showcases Management Information System at ESC UK

News Release from: PRQA/The Programming Research Group
07 October 2009

PRQA | Programming Research had the first public demonstration, at ESC UK, of its Management Information System (MIS) – a product that will change the landscape for software code quality measurement and provide quality management professionals with a previously unheard-of level of diagnostic tools.

MIS equips software development managers with meaningful and actionable analytics, significantly advancing code reuse and error prevention for development projects in demanding software development environments.

MIS’ code quality management operates in conjunction with PRQA’s industry leading QA•C and QA•C++ analysis tools. MIS captures diagnostics and metrics from each version of a software project and coupling the code entities to the source Version Control System. Delivered through a regular web browser, the management system provides functionality to profile quality data over time, create new compound metrics that better reflect real quality initiatives, and give external stake-holders a “seeing eye” inside each development project.

MIS has been undergoing internal and early-adopter trials for the past three months in industries including military and aerospace, medical design, automotive, and high-tech markets, and will have its first full product release in the fourth quarter of 2009. The feedback from all users who have previewed and adopted MIS so far has been immensely positive and has also provided an impetus for continued refinement and extension of the MIS product.
