METRICADVISOREnabling Developers to build-in Quality

The MetricAdvisor is a tool that helps in developing a highly maintainable product by evaluating key software metrics and graphically presenting the structure of the program.

For a detailed analysis of software quality it presents the following graphic results:

• The architecture of the application through call graphs which display the relationship between functions
• Compliance with the quality model through Kiviat and X-Y graphs which help to visualize the level of compliance with the thresholds

Highlights

• Halstead metrics for man-months calculation
• Cyclomatic Complexity for identifying the most complex modules
• Complexity Density Metrics for maintenance productivity
• Fan-in and Fan-out metrics for estimating maintenance complexity
• Commentedness and LOC metrics for maintenance and productivity estimation
