Application domain: component measurement

Description:

ESQUT (Evaluation of Software Quality from Users' viewpoinT, [Yama90]) was developed by TOSHIBA as part of an Integrated Management and Production System for software (IMAP). It supports both the software design and the implementation. Therefore it is divided in two parts:

1. source code analysis for C programs (ESQUT-C):
   ESQUT-C makes use of metrics that are correlated to those of McCabe and Halstead such as the number of GOTOs, the number of conditional statements etc.
   
   
2. analysis of the software design based on TFF (Technical Formula for Fifty steps design method) (ESQUT-TFF):
   The graphical presentation of the design structure consists of "boxes" representing one or a sequence of statements. These boxes supply the foundation for the applied metrics (e.g. number of condition boxes, number of cyles, number of procedure boxes etc)

• quality assessment during design and implementation
