• Calculate costs and elapsed days based on effort estimates.
• Collect metrics such as bug count, code coverage, and estimates vs. actuals.
• Create graphical reports on in-project status.
• Provide a detailed summary of estimates vs. actual, cost, and profit/loss.
• Summarize estimates vs. actual, cost, and profit/loss, as well as final team and individual statistics.

Use this tool to gain immediate benefits and to help identify requirements for a more advanced metrics collection and reporting solution, as you expand your use of metrics.
