Sonar manual measures

Apart from the metrics that are automatically collected during analysis, Sonar offers more flexibility by allowing us to add custom ones. There are some factors that simply cannot be calculated or automatically aggregated, such as team size, business value, or story points of the features that are to be implemented in subsequent versions. Nevertheless, such measures are necessary in order get the complete picture.

Sonar comes with three predefined custom measures. Log in as administrator or the packt user we have already created and go to Configuration | Manual Metrics to take a look at the following measures:

• Burned Budget: The budget already used in the project

• Business Value: An indication of the value of the project for the business

• Team size: The size of the project team
