Application domain: evaluated software measurement (software testing)

Description:

The Software Testing Workbench METRIC tool [Swtw95] provides an environment for software tests and code measurement. Similar to LOGISCOPE, STW METRIC uses Kiviat diagrams for a visualization of the measurement results. However, the tool's main goal is to support software testing which results in three main aspects of the STW METRIC conception:

• analysis of the test efficiency
  STW METRIC supplies several analysis methods for different test levels. An administration module prepares the test data for further evaluation.
  
  
• regression test analysis
  Regression tests help to discover file differences, which becomes especially important during the software maintenance.
  
  
• test planning and evaluation
  This component includes a generator for test data and the code analysis based on different size and complexity metrics (Halstead, McCabe, LOC, statements, number of functions, estimated error rate, estimated development time).

Supported Languages: ADA, C, C++, COBOL, F77, Pascal

Special features:

• support and efficiency control of software tests

Requirements: UNIX
