Description
I have a team whose violation index is dropping - while their raw violation numbers are increasing.
This is because they're also adding volumes of new code - they're diluting the poo, not cleaning it up.
Please expose the Weighted Violations score documented here: http://docs.codehaus.org/display/SONAR/Metric+definitions so that I can show a more accurate, at-a-glance metric of the quality delta.
I stated that wrong. Their compliance index is rising while the raw # of violations also rises.
I've also seen the compliance index fall at the same time the raw # of violations also dropped - because the LOC was also dropping (presumably, they were cleaning up duplicated blocks.)
At any rate, it's tempting to focus on Rules Compliance Index but movement in that number can be deceiving.
