TeamSystem and TFS add-on to Count Lines of Code and Predict Errors

Here another cool thing. From the Microsoft download website you can find this:

"Microsoft IT partnered with Microsoft Research to create a VSTS 2005 extension that counts lines of code and predicts system defects. In the software development environment, insight into the volume of code being produced, and the changes applied to that code, provide measurements of productivity and quality. The Line of Code (LOC) counter provides a flexible and extensible framework for automating the LOC counting process."

Isn't that amazing ? Finally a cool software metric add-on for Team System, and if you wanted another reason to stop using SourceSafe and start using Team Foundation System guess what: It also works with TFS.

If you use Team System or TFS, get it here.


See you later.
