Abstract

Collecting comparable benchmarking data is not a straightforward task. In this article, the author shares the experience she has acquired over the last eight years collecting, validating, analyzing and benchmarking software development projects. She presents her findings as a set of guidelines for data collection and benchmarking efforts.
