I was thinking about Derby Metrics.
1) Has anyone compiled any of the following information already?
2) Can you think of additonal metrics that might be useful to the
community?
Derby lines of code by component.
Derby code coverage numbers by component.
Lines of code added for 10.2 by component.
Derby bugs by component and severity.
Derby bug inflow by component and overall.

I would add:
- Derby bug inflow v/s outflow (fixed) over time would be helpful in
understanding defect backlog and tracking progress
The other useful one that I can think of is:
- Test case effectiveness, a ratio of the test cases that yielded
defects against the total # of test cases
Also, an area that I think the community should investigate is using
*static analysis tools* on Derby source to improve
code quality.
