Integration of Metric Tools for Software Testing
Shubha Jain, Viplav Srivastava, preeti katiyar · 2014
Software metric is a mathematical definition mapping the entities of a software system to numeric metrics values. Furthermore, we understand a software metrics tool as a program which implements a set of software metrics definitions. There are number of software metric tools available, use different methods to assess metric based software systems and hence project different results. The results are thus tool dependent and are in question for validation. Here an attempt is made to integrate four different object oriented free metric tools. A study has been done to calculate the metrics values using the same set of standard metrics for a software projects. The results have been presented and discussed here for showing the variations in results from different tools for same metrics. Measurements show that, for the same software system and metrics, the metrics values are tool depended. This paper will include two metrics which were not measured while integrating metrics tools. For this we will focus and study on integration of Vizz Analyzer and OOMeter metric tools with other metrics tools.
