Knowing what is inside your source code is the first step in assessing the quality of the software product. Knowing the quantity of work performed in generating the source code is the first step in determining the productivity of your software team. Resource Standard Metrics measures the quantity and quality of your source code by measuring the language attributes and lines of code, LOC. RSM reports are available in text, html and csv formats. Some of the metrics RSM calculates are explained at the following link (Metrics Narration).
