Abstract

Nowadays there are many tools and methods available for source code quality assurance based on static analysis, but most of these tools focus on traditional software development techniques with 3GL languages. Besides procedural languages, 4GL programming languages such as Magic 4GL and Progress are widely used for application development. All these languages lie outside the main scope of analysis techniques. In this paper we present MAGISTER, which is a quality assurance framework for applications being developed in Magic, a 4GL application development solution created by Magic Software Enterprises. MAGISTER extracts data using static analysis methods from applications being developed in different versions of Magic (v5-9 and uniPaaS). The extracted data (including metrics, rule violations and dependency relations) is presented to the user via a GUI so it can be queried and visualized for further analysis. It helps software developers, architects and managers through the full development cycle by performing continuous code scans and measurements.

MAGISTER:为软件开发人员和最终用户提供Magic应用程序的质量保证

目前有许多工具和方法可以用于基于静态分析的源代码质量保证，但这些工具大多集中在使用3GL语言的传统软件开发技术上。除了过程语言之外，4GL编程语言(如Magic 4GL和Progress)也被广泛用于应用程序开发。所有这些语言都不在分析技术的主要范围之内。在本文中，我们介绍MAGISTER，这是一个质量保证框架，用于在Magic中开发的应用程序，Magic软件企业创建的4GL应用程序开发解决方案。MAGISTER使用静态分析方法从使用不同版本的Magic (v5-9和uniPaaS)开发的应用程序中提取数据。提取的数据(包括指标、规则违例和依赖关系)通过GUI呈现给用户，因此可以对其进行查询和可视化，以便进行进一步分析。它通过执行连续的代码扫描和度量，帮助软件开发人员、架构师和管理人员完成整个开发周期。
