Abstract

The US Army's Tank-Automotive Research Development and Engineering Center's Next Generation Software Engineering Life Cycle Support Activity (NextGen) is responsible for determining the suitability of software for release to the field. Determining the software is suitable for materiel release includes ensuring the software is safe, operationally suitable, and logistically supportable. The-Next Generation Team incorporates a thorough and well-defined process for evaluating software for materiel release that includes a detailed review of all documentation, a walk-through of a representative sample of source code, and the automated collection of several source code metrics using AdaSTATT, a commercially available software metrics tool for Ada. The metrics collected include source lines of code, cyclomatic and essential complexity, Halstead measures, and a maintainability index. Taken together, these metrics provide a valuable indication of the overall maintainability and supportability of the software. The metrics are presented using a Kiviat analysis, which provides a graphical display of the state of a module with respect to predefined limit values.

在物料发布过程经验报告中使用软件质量度量

美国陆军坦克-汽车研究开发和工程中心的下一代软件工程生命周期支持活动(NextGen)负责确定发布到战场的软件的适用性。确定软件是否适合材料发布，包括确保软件安全、操作适宜和后勤支持。下一代团队整合了一个全面的、定义良好的过程，用于评估软件的材料发布，包括对所有文档的详细审查，对源代码的代表性样本的详细检查，以及使用AdaSTATT (Ada的商业软件度量工具)自动收集几个源代码度量。收集的度量包括源代码行、圈复杂度和基本复杂度、Halstead度量和可维护性指数。综合起来，这些度量为软件的总体可维护性和可支持性提供了有价值的指示。这些指标使用Kiviat分析来表示，该分析提供了模块相对于预定义极限值的状态的图形显示。
