TQI definition

The TQI is a business criteria that averages all the technical Criteria. TQI is based on the grades of all modules on all technical criteria.

Info

TQI is not based on technology level grade. Hence, we can not deduct its value from the technology level values

TQI computation

First, we compute the TQI of each module, which is done by a weighted average of the all technical criteria grades involved in the module (weighting is done according to the aggregate weight of the technical criteria for the TQI branch of the metric tree). If the computed grade exceed the calculated grade for a “critical” technical Criteria, then the grade takes the lowest value (In this case, the grade for a “critical” technical Criteria). Clearly, if we have an average of 3, but a critical technical Criteria has a value of 2, then TQI of the module will be 2 (This is important since you can improve some criteria leading to a higher average, if you have a critical technical criteria with a lower grade, the TQI value remains unchanged). Then, once all TQI grades for modules computed, we calculate the TQI of the application using a weighted average of TQI modules. The default weight is 1 for each module, but it is possible to define a metric weighting based on the technical size metric or on the business value. For more information about business Criteria computation and other computations, please refer to the official documentation. For 8.3, see this page: CAST AIP Measurement System explained

The Evolution View

The Evolution view is designed to provide visibility on a project’s evolution from a quantity standpoint. This view requires access to at least one Application in the Portfolio tree.

This view displays:

Identification of quantity evolution through a dual “absolute vs. relative” evolution approach: sections “Quantity Evolution” and “Quantity Evolution (%)”
Effort estimation: section “Estimated Effort (Absolute and Split)”
Quality evolution and status for cross-reference: section “Quality Status and Evolution”

Definition of quantities displayed in sections “Quantity Evolution” and “Quantity Evolution (%)”

This section expresses variations in terms of absolute values (Quantity Evolution) and in terms of relative values (Quantity Evolution (%)) for functional weight and technical size. Functional weight consist of Backfired IFPUG and Total CC while Technical size are KLOCs, Artifacts and Objects with details of the processed artifacts given in a second table (Added, updated, deleted)
