ANNOUNCEMENT: WebMets - a tool to generate software metrics from CVS projects
_Quick Version_: - tool to generate software metrics from a CVS project - allows you to compare your CVS project or an anonymous access project against others - you can see graphs of metrics created - please give feedback on interesting results http://budvar.crn.cogs.susx.ac.uk/webmets/ _Longer Version_: As part of my undergraduate dissertation at the University of Sussex in the UK, I have created a tool to generate software metrics from CVS repositories. This tool aims to extend typical metrics tools by using the functions of CVS, namely the stored history of source files and associated log files, thereby building up a picture of a development project over time. The tool also allows the comparison of multiple CVS projects. This is also made a lot easier because the files do not have to be inputted, they are already stored by CVS in the repository. In order to empirically test the tool, I have created a web site where you can submit a repository (either your own, or an anonymously accessible repository) for processing and compare it to other repositories. You get to see pretty graphs of the metrics of your project and gauge your software development versus other teams. It's interesting and also rather good fun! The aim of the web site is to collect feedback from developers/others about interesting results generated and results that illustrate good use of the tool. I would be very grateful for any feedback that you may have. The address of WebMets, the web based version of the tool is: http://budvar.crn.cogs.susx.ac.uk/webmets/ Please submit your feedback via the web site or directly to me: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thank you in advance for your time and please forward this message to others who may be interested, Steven Read. --- 3rd Year Finalist - Computer Science with Management Studies, School of Cognitive and Computing Science, University of Sussex, Brighton, UK.
