Panopticode Description

Panopticode provides a standardized format for describing the structure of software projects and integrates metrics. Panopticode project provides a standardized format for describing the structure of software projects and integrates metrics from several tools into that format.Reporting options provide correlation, historic analysis, and visualization.Here are some key features of "Panopticode":The Good· There is a rich selection of tools available to the Java community for gathering code metrics. These tools can be invaluable for tasks such as:· Prioritizing refactoring and redesign work· Understanding unfamiliar or large code bases· Ensuring coding standards are being followed· Evaluating software quality· Informing extend -vs- rewrite decisions· Proving that contractual obligations have been met· Comparing competing toolsThe Bad and The Ugly· While these tools are powerful they suffer from a number of problems such as:· Installation and configuration can be difficult and time consuming· Most only measure the status at a point in time and have no concept of historical data· Each tool represents its data in a proprietary format· It is very difficult to correlate data from different tools· It can be difficult to switch between competing tools that provide similar functions· Most have extremely limited reporting and visualization capabilitiesWhat's New in This Release:· This release provides treemaps of code coverage, treemaps of complexity, integrates metrics from Emma, JavaNCSS, and JDepend, and gathers metrics from CheckStyle, Cobertura, Complexian, Simian, and Subversion.· Treemaps are a powerful visualization for seeing both the overall picture and a great deal of detail at the same time.
