Resource Standard Metrics can create these metrics in just a few minutes as compared to hours and days of manual differentials and assembly of metrics. Understanding Code Differentials: A source code file exists between two code baselines in one of three states. The file may be new to the baseline and contribute “new” metrics. It may be removed from the baseline thus yielding “removed” metrics or it may exist in both baselines and contribute to the “differential” metrics. These three states are used by Resource Standard Metrics for processing baseline differential metrics. ...
