Metrics - Details

This links below contain descriptions of the metrics provided with CodePro. Each metric has a description plus a picture and list of any of its unique parameters (if it has any).

In the descriptions, the term target elements refers to any portion of a Java program that is manifested in the Eclipse Java model. These also correspond to the elements seen by the user in the user interface. A complete list of element kinds is shown in Table 1 below.

Several groups of element kinds have been given names for the sake of brevity. Table 1, below, shows a complete list of element kinds and indicates which of these are included in each of the named groups.
