Quality Metrics Tracking Task

Purpose

Define, collect, analyze, and track comprehensive quality metrics across all development activities. This task establishes a data-driven approach to quality improvement and provides visibility into quality trends and patterns.

Integration with Memory System

What patterns to search for: Metric trend patterns, quality improvement correlations, threshold violations, anomaly patterns
What outcomes to track: Quality improvement rates, metric stability, alert effectiveness, action item completion
What learnings to capture: Effective metric thresholds, leading indicators, improvement strategies, metric correlations

Metric Collection Framework

Step 1: Automated Collection

def collect_quality_metrics():
    metrics = {
        "code": {
            "coverage": get_test_coverage(),
            "complexity": calculate_complexity(),
            "duplication": detect_duplication(),
            "violations": count_lint_violations()
        },
        "process": {
            "velocity": calculate_velocity(),
            "lead_time": measure_lead_time(),
            "review_time": average_review_time(),
            "build_success": build_success_rate()
        },
        "product": {
            "availability": calculate_uptime(),
            "performance": measure_response_times(),
            "errors": count_error_rates(),
            "satisfaction": get_user_scores()
        }
    }
    return enrich_with_trends(metrics)

Step 2: Metric Analysis

def analyze_metrics(current_metrics, historical_data):
    analysis = {
        "trends": calculate_trends(current_metrics, historical_data),
        "anomalies": detect_anomalies(current_metrics),
        "correlations": find_correlations(current_metrics),
        "predictions": forecast_trends(historical_data),
        "health_score": calculate_overall_health(current_metrics)
    }
    
    return generate_insights(analysis)

Step 3: Threshold Management

Metric	Green	Yellow	Red	Action
Test Coverage	>90%	80-90%	<80%	Block deployment
Complexity	<10	10-20	>20	Refactor required
Build Success	>95%	85-95%	<85%	Fix immediately
Review Time	<4hr	4-8hr	>8hr	Escalate
Error Rate	<0.1%	0.1-1%	>1%	Incident response

Quality Dashboard Design

Real-Time Metrics

realtime_dashboard:
  current_sprint:
    - velocity_burndown: Actual vs planned
    - quality_gates: Pass/fail status
    - defect_trend: New vs resolved
    - coverage_delta: Change from baseline
  
  system_health:
    - error_rate: Last 15 minutes
    - response_time: P50, P95, P99
    - availability: Current status
    - active_incidents: Count and severity

Historical Analytics

historical_views = {
    "quality_trends": {
        "timeframes": ["daily", "weekly", "monthly", "quarterly"],
        "metrics": ["coverage", "complexity", "defects", "velocity"],
        "comparisons": ["period_over_period", "target_vs_actual"]
    },
    "pattern_analysis": {
        "defect_patterns": "Common causes and times",
        "performance_patterns": "Peak usage impacts",
        "team_patterns": "Productivity cycles"
    }
}

Alert and Action Framework

Alert Configuration

alert_rules = {
    "critical": {
        "coverage_drop": "Coverage decreased >5%",
        "build_failure": "3 consecutive failures",
        "production_error": "Error rate >2%",
        "sla_breach": "Response time >SLA"
    },
    "warning": {
        "trend_negative": "3-day negative trend",
        "threshold_approach": "Within 10% of limit",
        "anomaly_detected": "Outside 2 std deviations"
    }
}

def trigger_alert(metric, severity, value):
    alert = {
        "metric": metric,
        "severity": severity,
        "value": value,
        "threshold": get_threshold(metric),
        "action_required": get_required_action(metric, severity)
    }
    notify_stakeholders(alert)
