jgs Javier Gonzalez-Sanchez | CSC 308 | Winter 2023 | 6 § LOC – Lines of Code Metric. Including lines of a single brace or parenthesis § LOC are used to create time and cost estimates. § LOC are a tracking tool to measure the degree of progress on a module or project. § An experienced developer can gage a LOC estimate based upon knowledge of past productivity on projects. Size Metrics
jgs Javier Gonzalez-Sanchez | CSC 308 | Winter 2023 | 7 § eLOC – effective Lines of Code Metric. Only code statements § An effective line of code or eLOC is the measurement of all lines that are not comments, blanks or standalone braces or parenthesis. These can inflate LOC metrics by 20 to 40 percent. § This metric more closely represents the quantity of work performed. Size Metrics
jgs Javier Gonzalez-Sanchez | CSC 308 | Winter 2023 | 8 § lLOC – logical Lines of Code Metric. § These statements are terminated with a semi-colon. § The control line for the "for" loop contain two semi-colons but accounts for only one semi colon. Size Metrics
jgs Javier Gonzalez-Sanchez | CSC 308 | Winter 2023 | 19 § Cyclomatic Complexity. It is a quantitative measure of the number of linearly independent paths. § Paths occur when "while,” "for,” "if,” "case," and "goto" keywords appear within the function. § If the source code contained no control flow statements (conditionals or decision points), the complexity would be 1 § If the code had one single-condition IF statement, there would be two paths through the code: one where the IF statement evaluates to TRUE and another one where it considers to be FALSE. § Two nested single-condition IFs, or one block with two conditions, would produce a complexity of 3. Function Metrics
jgs Javier Gonzalez-Sanchez | CSC 308 | Winter 2023 | 22 Complexity Number Meaning 1-10 Structured and well written code High Testability Cost and Effort is less 10-20 Complex Code Medium Testability Cost and effort is Medium 20-40 Very complex Code Low Testability Cost and Effort are high >40 Not at all testable Very high Cost and Effort Cyclomatic Complexity
jgs Javier Gonzalez-Sanchez | CSC 308 | Winter 2023 | 27 Resource Standard Metrics (RSM) is a source code metrics and quality analysis tool for ANSI C, ANSI C++, C# and Java for use on all Windows* and UNIX operating systems. 1. Download RSM 7.75 Trial (Windows) here: http://msquaredtechnologies.com/ RSM-Download.html * Install the Windows version. It includes a easy to use friendly interface (RSM Wizard). Tool
jgs Javier Gonzalez-Sanchez | CSC 308 | Winter 2023 | 28 2. Review the user manual here http://msquaredtechnologies.com /m2wizard/RSM_Wizard_Manual.htm Disclaimer: It is a FREE tool… Issues counting LOCs, eLOCs, Issues counting conditions (syntaxis analysis) BUT ±0..9 does not affect in biggest projects 🧐 Resource Standard Metrics
