Explore Resource Standard Metrics for C/C++, Java and C#

Source code quality metrics and complexity are measured from the written source code yielding actual measures of your team's performance. Source code metric differentials can be determined between baselines using RSM code differential work files. Source code metrics (SLOC, KSLOC, LLOC) from this tool can provide line of code derived function point metrics.

RSM has been adopted as a corporate standard metrics tool for many Fortune 100 software companies for compliance to ISO9001, CMMI and AS9100. RSM is the best software source code metrics tool for the money to be found anywhere, all at a very cost sensitive price.

Typical Use Cases for RSM

• Determine source code LOC, SLOC, KSLOC for C, C++, Java and C#
• Measure software metrics for each baseline and determine metrics differentials between baselines
• Baseline code metrics are captured independent of metrics differentials so history is preserved
• Report CMMI, ISO metrics for code compliance audit
• Perform source code static anaysis, best used for code peer reviews
• Remove tabs, convert from DOS to UNIX format, and pretty print code
• Measure and analyze source code for out sourced or subcontacted code
• Measure cyclomatic code complexity and analyze interface complexity for maintenance
• RSM is the best source code metrics tool for massive baseline trees

RSM is featured in a Column by Jack Ganssle for Embedded.com

I used RSM from M Squared Technologies (www.msquaredtechnologies.com/index.htm) for gathering the numbers here. It's an inexpensive tool that acquires lots of useful metrics from source files. An evaluation version limited to 20 files is free. It's fast (except on insanely huge code basis like Linux) and easy to use with practically no learning curve. Highly recommended.

RSM is featured in the new Book "Corporate Software Project Management" by Guy W. Lecky-Thompson. Read about how our tool is used in the corporate setting to yield software quality and source code metrics bringing statistical process control to your project.
