Using metrics is the first step towards an honest evaluation of the functional quality of software. A very important KPI for the organization can be created based on them. Such KPIs can, for instance, evaluate user satisfaction levels or user loyalty.

When should you implement metrics?
While metrics are worth implementing right at the start, they become especially important once the system user base starts to grow at a regular pace and you wish to ensure their high satisfaction level.

What to measure?
Metrics encompass evaluations of product quality, ongoing processes and generated benefits. Based on our own experiences, we prepared a set of guidelines that will help you maintain high quality, efficiency and system availability. Using them supports all phases of software development.

Why are metrics effective?
Well matched metrics help to maintain high user satisfaction. That translates to providing users with better, more efficient and more enjoyable user experience while using the system.

What is the business value of implementing metrics?
First, metrics are the first step towards an honest evaluation of the functional quality of the software and user satisfaction.
