jgs Javier Gonzalez-Sanchez | CSC 309 | Winter 2023 | 3 § Knowing what is inside your source code is the first step in assessing the quality of the software product. § Knowing the quantity of work performed in generating the source code is the first step in determining the productivity of your software team. Software Metrics

jgs Javier Gonzalez-Sanchez | CSC 309 | Winter 2023 | 8 § 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 309 | Winter 2023 | 9 § 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 309 | Winter 2023 | 10 § 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 309 | Winter 2023 | 13 § 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 is considered to be FALSE. § Two nested single-condition IFs, or one block with two conditions, would produce a complexity of 3.

jgs Javier Gonzalez-Sanchez | CSC 309 | Winter 2023 | 31 Step 1 Calculate Code Metrics (LOC, eLOC, lLOC, CC) Per Class for https://github.com/javiergs/TowerOfHanoi 

jgs Javier Gonzalez-Sanchez | CSC 309 | Winter 2023 | 32 Step 2 Create a UML Class Diagram for https://github.com/javiergs/TowerOfHanoi 

jgs Javier Gonzalez-Sanchez | CSC 309 | Winter 2023 | 33 Step 3 Calculate Structural Metrics (A, I, D) Per Class https://github.com/javiergs/TowerOfHanoi 

jgs Javier Gonzalez-Sanchez | CSC 309 | Winter 2023 | 34 Step 4 Write a paragraph about what you think of the metrics. What do the metrics state about the code? – explain with your own words (good, bad, unknown) https://github.com/javiergs/TowerOfHanoi 

jgs Javier Gonzalez-Sanchez | CSC 309 | Winter 2023 | 35 Step 5 Compile and run the code. You will notice an error when moving disks as follows: 

jgs Javier Gonzalez-Sanchez | CSC 309 | Winter 2023 | 36 Step 5 repeat several times { move disk 1 from Poll 1 to Poll 3. move disk 1 from Poll 3 back to Poll 1 } // Notice how each time the disk is drawn // upper and upper like floating in the poll // Why? 

jgs Javier Gonzalez-Sanchez | CSC 309 | Winter 2023 | 37 Step 5 Can you fix it? 

jgs Javier Gonzalez-Sanchez | CSC 309 | Winter 2023 | 38 Step 5 How many files need to be edited? How many lines are to be added? How many lines are to be modified or removed? Elaborate an explanation (either way)
