Reldex: scoring the efficiency of app release cycles
Inspired from Apdex (apdex.org), we introduce Reldex: a score of the effectiveness of app release cycles. We use it to measure and account for developer frustration and experience. Some key metrics we use for Reldex are: number of stability commits, time taken to stabilise release, release rollout smoothness, number of hotfixes, etc.
The simplicity of Reldex ensures that one does not require any special tools for calculation, and teams can observe and measure it manually. In this talk, we explain how we arrived at Reldex and how you can use it too.
