I know google has things like linkto:yourdomain.com and Alexa is around, but there's nothing that I can query and get the number of sites that link to me. Anyone know of such a thing, other than using Google or another search engine and scraping the HTML results? ...
Intended to be a quick heartbeat of what people out there are actually using to determine software size (which may lead to an estimate) in order to plan and project schedules. Post Unique answers and Vote +1 to second an existing option. Context : Let me get this off my chest... I detest function points because its difficult to coun...
What are some of the strategies that are used when implementing FxCop / static analysis on existing code bases with existing violations? How can one most effectively reduce the static analysis violations? ...
In your practice, what measure(s) do you use to know when it's time to stop testing an application and move it to production? ...
I am looking into getting a log file analysis tool for multiple sites. All the sites currently run Google analytics, however I have noticed that the stats that this provides can be a bit off (lower numbers than log files report etc etc). It needn't be expensive although expensive tools will be considered. It needs to be scriptable so ...
Of course the best metric would be a happiness of your users. But what metrics do you know for GUI usability measurements? For example, one of the common metrics is a average click count to perform action. What other metrics do you know? ...
I have a Visual Studio 2005 Solution workspace which in turn has 8 projects included in it. I want to profile the complete code(all the projects) and get some measure about the absolute cycles taken by each function to execute, or at least percentage cycle consumptions. I checked out help for VS 2005, and also the project setiings optio...
Are there any tools available that will calculate code metrics (for example number of code lines, cyclomatic complexity, coupling, cohesion) for your project and over time produce a graph showing the trends? ...
Any suggestions for tools to monitor page load times/errors and other performance metrics for a PHP application? I am aware of the FireBug and YSlow tools, but this is for more server monitoring. ...
I am producing an online system to integrate a number of other systems using sharepoint as a portal. I would like good logging built in so I can actually see what my users are doing (without invading their privacy!) I would like to produce heat map overlays to see which links are being made, and intuitive reports of which pages are bei...
I want to track how much traffic I'm getting on an RSS feed that is set up using .Net 2.0 & SQL Server. Is there an industry standard on what metrics I should use, for example, page hits? ...
Are there any tools available for calculating Cyclomatic Complexity in Javascript? I've found it a very helpful metric in the past while working on server side code, and would like to be able to use it for the client side Javascript I write. ...
Are there any tools available for calculating the average number of lines of code per method? I want to know the average size of each method, not just the total number of lines in the project. The per method count will allow me to measure how simple each method is. This will be calculated as part of the build process, and displayed on ...
I'm asking more about what this means to my code. I understand the concepts mathematically, I just have a hard time wrapping my head around what they mean conceptually. For example, if one were to perform an O(1) operation on a data structure, I understand that the amount of operations it has to perform won't grow because there are mor...
Can you recommend free tools for calcualting cyclomatic complexity. Looking for all languages. One tool/language per answer please. ...
At work, we are trying to combat the monstrosity that our application servers have become - we are now running out of server resources after many months of resource-creep. I would like to begin the process of finding out what to investigate by seeing what people think the best server monitoring tools are. Specifically, I'm interested...
I have been using SourceMonitor on my project for a couple of years to keep records of source-code complexity and basic SLOC (including comments) for C# and C++ components. These are used for external reporting to our customer, so I'm not in a position to argue their merits or lack of. I've been working on a repository analysis tool wh...
After reading the answers to the question "Calculate Code Metrics" I installed the tool SourceMonitor and calculated some metrics. But I have no idea how to interpret them. What's a "good" value for the metric "Percent Branch Statements" "Methods per Class" "Average Statements per Method" "Maximum Method or Function Complexity" I f...
Are there any tools available to log the page load time for a php site? Mainly looking for something that I can see trends of load times over time, I was considering dumping them into a file using error_log(), but I don't know what I could use to parse it and display graphs ...
There are some nice things about it (like it encapsulates the concept of Cyclomatic complexity), and I was wondering if anyone has used it in "real life". If so, what are your experiences? Is it a useful measure of size (as opposed to KLOC or Function Points)? For those wondering what I'm smoking: Here's a link to some info on it: htt...
