A new architecture and implementation strategy for non-invasive software measurement systems

Despite that non-invasive software measurement tools have proven their usefulness in software production, their adoption in software industry is still limited. Reasons for the limited distributions have been studied and analysed recently. In this paper, we propose a new architecture for non-invasive software measurement systems that address the problems of the existing systems. The outcome of our early experimentation is quite promising and gives us the desired additional confidence on its successful distribution.
