 I have investigated using a few tools that assist in the automation of
 the Personal Software Process (PSP) and every tool I have used has too
 much overhead to make it useful.
 
 I think that integrating many aspects of the PSP into an IDE would
 eliminate most of the overhead of using the PSP and would give software
 developers very useful information they can use to improve their
 productivity.
 
 For example: Some of the aspects of PSP that are time consuming that
 could be automated by the IDE are:
 
 1.  Logging of time spent on project:  The IDE could record the time
 spent developing each class of a project.
 2.  Error/Defect tracking: The IDE automatically enters compile time
 errors, failed unit test errors and also has a way of letting the user
 indicate the time spent fixing an error.
 3.  Software measurements:  The IDE automatically keeps track of
 software measurements for entire project and daily development.
 4.  Planning:  The user can make estimations of size and the IDE will
 let the user know how close they are to the actual measurement.
 5.  Reports on LOC/hour, amount of time fixing defects vs total project
 time.
 6.  Multiple project statistics let user know how much their
 productivity and estimation has improved.
 
 I am wondering what everyone thinks about this as a project idea.
