Reviews and Comments

AA (3 June 2009)

• Should there be a title of the graph?
• what are the MetricNo and Link to Repository? Are important or should be smaller and maybe below the
• When I print the graph I have no information what project, and parameters were chosen, nothing above the graph..
• we said to show only projects that have some metrics? Not all projects that do not have any metric.
• Sensible default values would be useful for all input values (in a configuration file on the server?)
• Export to "comma-separated" values would also be useful, something that one can import in Excel and do something with it.
• Is there a configuration file on the server that can select for instance the projects to show etc?
