Abstract:
Disclosed is a computer-implemented software development diagnostic tool for improving the efficiency of software development. The computer-implemented software development diagnostic tool implements a state machine including learning, troubleshooting, and reworking states, records time elapsed in each state, and produces annotated timeline data. Also disclosed is a method of collecting software development diagnostic data, in which a computer-implemented software development diagnostic tool is used to select and track time spent in learning, troubleshooting, and reworking states of software development activity. Also disclosed is a method of detecting inefficiencies in software development, comprising producing diagnostic data using a computer-implemented software development diagnostic tool, displaying the diagnostic data, and detecting in the diagnostic data a problem pattern of developer activity.

Claim (Index 37):
A method of detecting inefficiencies in software development, comprising:\n producing diagnostic data comprising annotated time e data, wherein producing diagnostic data comprises using a computer-implemented software development diagnostic tool to select a plurality of predefined software developer activity states, said plurality of predefined software developer activity states comprising a first state, a second state, and a third state, and to track time spent in each software developer activity state, and wherein annotated timeline data comprises time data for the first state, the second state, and the third state; displaying the diagnostic data in a graphic format on a display device operatively coupled to the computer-implemented software development diagnostic tool; and detecting in the diagnostic data a problem pattern of developer activity.
