Abstract: A method for predicting progress of a code development project, comprising: monitoring behavior of a plurality of software developers through interaction with at least an integrated development environment; providing a predictive model of the code development project adapted to predict a future status of the code development project; and outputting a prediction dependent on a status of the code development project at a future time, the interaction comprising: exploration events comprising browsing source code for understanding or investigation; coding events comprising actively modifying source code; debugging events comprising interacting with a debugger stepping through code in a debugging phase; and testing events comprising coding or running unit tests and test automation.
