Abstract
Nowadays, developers use N-tier application architecture which is a flexible and reusable structure for distribution to any number of client interfaces. In this study, we have implemented metrics extraction and analyzer tool for Business Tier and Data Access Tier source codes. We used existing object-oriented metrics and complexity software metrics as proposed for Business Tier code1,3. We use a set of metrics for the Data Access Tier that has been proposed in our previous study2. The primary aim of the implementation of the metric extraction and analyzer tool is to facilitate generation of software metrics which are used as independent variables in software quality prediction models. A secondary goal is to gather and present information on the attributes of source code to assist the programmers in managing the software projects. This tool is able to generate the principal components, correlation analysis report and descriptive statistics report. These analysis reports are essential reports for the study of software measurement and software quality management.
