Its developers explain that JQA enables organizations to build a quality assurance contract between project management and developers. The tool provides quantitative data and provides a set of quality metrics that offer objective measurements of code quality. It supports validation of those measurements against a quality baseline, as well, thus enabling developers to measure improvements in quality.
Pricing on JQA starts at US$49.95 per developer workstation, with site licensing available. Source code is also available for custom developments, with an appropriate license in place.
