New LOC metrics!
We continuously improve the LOC metrics and charts as part of our standard R&D Reporter improvements.
We now provide an LOC chart per code language (click to see a screenshot), and soon we will release an LOC report per UCM stream.
RTC users: do you need lines of code (LOC) reports and metrics?
We are considering enhancing our unique add-on and supporting RTC as well. Let me know if you find this relevant for you!
So far we provide:
- LOC per release (two baselines comparison)
- LOC based on two streams comparison
- LOC based on a baseline with a stream comparison
- LOC per component
- LOC per code language
- Soon we’ll provide LOC per stream
