A source code quality analysis approach

A huge amount of source code is written everyday for different languages and various platforms. It is necessary that the code written is efficient and optimized in terms of various parameters including hardware utilization, maintainability, testability, reusability, portability, understandability and simplicity etc. This paper proposes a weight based approach for measuring quality of a source code by using different attributes. Different parameters from source code are considered within each attribute. At the end, experimentation is performed and source code quality is being determined for six different C++ programs.
