GrammaTech Executive to Present Session on Hazards of Misusing Software Metrics at embedded world 2022

WHO:

Dr. Paul Anderson, VP of Engineering at GrammaTech, leads product engineering, and is responsible for the company’s full product portfolio. He is an expert in regulatory requirements and best practices for assuring software security and safety. He has served as Principal Investigator for SBIR Phase I and Phase II government research contracts for static analysis of machine code, program understanding and code rewriting. Dr. Anderson is a senior member of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM).

WHAT:

Software metrics, when used properly, can help identify risks and provide guidance on how to mitigate them. As a result, it is common for organizations to establish rules designed to maintain certain metrics within thresholds defined by industry standards. Unfortunately, dogmatic enforcement of such rules can lead to code that is more difficult to understand, test, and manage, thereby increasing risk. In this talk, Dr. Anderson will:

• Describe some of the most popular metrics
• Discuss some of their shortcomings, and describe how they can be misused or misinterpreted
• Present best practices on how to use code metrics in a way that avoids some of these pitfalls

WHEN:

Hazards of Misusing Software Metrics. June 23, 2022 from 11:00 to 11:30am.

WHERE:

Nuremberg, Messezentrum, 90471 Nuremberg, Germany
