Methodology Investigation. Multilingual Static Analysis Tool (MSAT).

Abstract

The Multilingual Static Analysis Tool (MSAT) investigation was conducted to develop a software tool to automate the collection and reporting of software design and quality characteristics in a multilingual milieu. The goal of MSAT is to minimize the manual effort associated with the static software assessment of a target software system's design, structure, maintainability, modifications, and conformance with documented design and development standards. MSAT consists of a flexible, language-independent data collection component which extracts and stores items of interest in a DBMS; static analysis/report generation components for calculating and presenting software metrics and reports; and an executive control component which provides a user-friendly interface. Keywords: Software measurement and assessment. (Author)
