CBR Insight: Measure and Visualize Source Code Quality

Abstract

A critical aspect of software development is creating high-quality source code that is reliable, maintainable, and has limited technical debt. Software development teams generally employ a variety of design techniques, processes, and tools to continually work towards quality code while balancing the overall time and budget demands of the project. The goal of CBR Insight (CBRI) is to provide an objective and understandable measure of software quality that can help guide decisions and direct limited resources during software acquisition, development, and sustainment. CBRI supports the ability of technical and non-technical decision makers to verify that a project's software implementation follows through on promises around developing and sustaining reliable and maintainable software while managing technical debt.
