Sales of Predictive(TM) Tools Increase 200% in 3rd Quarter, Says ISM.FAIRMONT, W.Va. -- Integrated Software Separate software components or applications that have been combined into one package. See integrated software package. Metrics, Inc. (ISM See ISM band. ) has announced a 200% surge in sales of its error prediction tools Predictive (TM) Lite and Predictive (TM) Pro during the third quarter. Driving the boost in ISM's growth are new customers in the telecom, energy, technology and government markets, including organizations such as Alcatel, Chevron, LogLogic, and Northrop Grumman Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE: NOC) is an aerospace and defense conglomerate that is the result of the 1994 purchase of Grumman by Northrop. The company is the third largest defense contractor for the U.S. . ISM's first product in the tool suite, Predictive Lite, analyzes code, generates metrics and predicts error-prone code at the function level. ISM's Predictive Pro incorporates artificial intelligence for evaluating error data and developing a knowledge base for software projects. ISM's customers are discovering that these powerful tools improve the entire code analysis process. Tim Reyes of Mountain State Information Systems, a Northrop Grumman team member supporting NASA NASA: see National Aeronautics and Space Administration. NASA in full National Aeronautics and Space Administration Independent U.S. IV&V, says, " Predictive Pro has reduced our processing and analysis time through its ability to customize metrics, identify functions that exceed complexity thresholds, and track these complexity metrics across builds. Reducing code complexity simplifies code maintenance and facilitates re-use of flight software." Predictive tools are being used across the organization. Says Darryl Caillouet, Senior Programmer Analyst A person who analyzes and designs information systems and designs and writes the application programs for the system. In theory, a programmer analyst is both systems analyst and applications programmer. In practice, the title is sometimes simply a reward to a programmer for tenure. , "At the City of Little Rock, we have a small staff that supports a large number of disparate systems. ISM's Predictive Pro allows us to analyze all of our C++ code for defects whether it is a GUI (Graphical User Interface) A graphics-based user interface that incorporates movable windows, icons and a mouse. The ability to resize application windows and change style and size of fonts are the significant advantages of a GUI vs. a character-based interface. online program for a Windows client or a batch program running on our Linux mainframe. Predictive Pro quickly assigns a risk level to each routine throughout a project directory. This allows us to effectively focus on refactoring the highest risk areas of our code. It's more productive for us having a single tool that can analyze the C++ code for all the different compilers and platforms we write for."
