Abstract:
Although a number of applications exist for extracting and processing software process data, process managers and other software process stakeholders often come up with customized process evaluation requirements, which are not met by available programs. Using general purpose query languages like SQL, retrieval of software process information introduces a cost and competence barrier, since it requires a considerable effort for query writing as well as a deep understanding of process data collection and representation. In this paper, we describe and validate the implementation of a query language, SyQL, mainly but not exclusively designed for software process data. SyQL significantly reduces the competence barrier by providing a query interface aimed to software process data.
Keywords: Query languages, validation, controlled experiments
