In the paper we present our experience with development and maintenance of complex software systems. In particular, we concentrate on monitoring related development, testing and debugging processes. We have analyzed the contents of collected reports (provided by different tools) covering many projects and defined several metrics and statistics helpful in managing complex projects and achieving high quality software. Moreover, we have identified lacking data which could improve these processes.
