Two kinds of data will be collected simultaneously by Hackystat Eclipse sensor and ESR in Zorro validation study. Development metric data are automatically collected by Hacksytat Eclipse sensor and sent over to Hackystat web server. In the mean time, ESR records the development process into a movie file.
Hackystat Eclipse sensor collects development activities and sends metric data to Hackystat server automatically. There are many ways to check whether Eclipse sensor is working.
Eclipse sensor writes out information in the Eclipse status bar at the bottom left position when Eclipse is up and the data collection is in progress.
Developers can look at what data are send out to Hackystat server by looking at the log file eclipse.0.log at <HOME>\.hackystat folder.

After developers finish development in the case study, you can collect test subjects' Hackystat sensor data to conduct analysis. There are two ways to get Hacksytat sensor data. One way is to ask test subjects for their user keys, another way is to let them compress their sensor data with "Zip Sensor Data" analysis. Figure 10.3, “ Hacksytat Sensor Data Export ” displays where they can find the "Zip Sensor Data" analysis.
You can extract the received zip file into Hackystat data directory of your local Hackystat server and rename user's directory from "Anonymous" to a unique index number or last four digits of the subject's ID number.
