- ┌──────────────────────────────── MET_PARS ─────────────────────────────────┐
- │ │
- │ MET_PARS is a program that measures the complexity of Ada source │
- │ code. Researchers have found that complexity metrics are correlated │
- │ with the understandability of the source code, development and │
- │ maintenace costs, and error rates. STO sells a library of reusable │
- │ Ada software for $450 from which MET_PARS and other tools are built. │
- │ │
- │ This version of MET_PARS measures the Halstead metric, and │
- │ displays a wide variety of information about components in the │
- │ Ada program, as well as values for Halstead's metric. The parser │
- │ does not handle the PRAGMA statement of Ada. │
- │ │
- │ To use the program, type MET_PARS followed by the filename. │
- │ Test prorgams, LISTING.ADA and EXECUTE.ADA are provided. Type │
- │ │
- │ MET_PARS LISTING.ADA or MET_PARS EXECUTE.ADA │
- │ │
- │ to start the analysis. │
