Abstract

The paper presents our experience with the adaptation and construction of exploratory analysis tools for tree-based models used in quality measurement and improvement. We extended a commercial off-the-shelf analysis tool to support visualization, presentation, and various other exploration functions. The user-oriented, interactive exploration of analysis results is supported by a new tool we constructed for this specific purpose. These tools have been used successfully in supporting software measurement and quality improvement for several large commercial software products developed in the IBM Software Solutions Toronto Laboratory.
