While it is obviously a very thinly veiled advertisement for their product (and their claims of a full "breakdown of the results" being on their site don't appear to be true...), it is fun to read. "uncommented lines > 500". Hmm. So because Apache has more than 500 uncommented lines it has poor structure? You know, if Apache _didn't_ have more than 500 uncommented lines I would think it would have pretty poor structure... "globalization: 100%". Hahahahahahahah. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Wed, 12 May 1999 00:14:53 -0600 (MDT) From: Marc Slemko To: marcs@znep.com Subject: [ANNOUNCE]Apache 1.3.6 Highly Rated by CodeAdvantage Technologies >Message-ID: <3738DD10.9D5E7C24@codeadvantage.com> >From: CodeAdvantage Technologies >Newsgroups: comp.programming,comp.software.measurement,comp.software-eng,comp.infosystems.www,comp.infosystems.www.servers.misc,comp.infosystems.www.servers.unix >Subject: [ANNOUNCE]Apache 1.3.6 Highly Rated by CodeAdvantage Technologies >Date: Tue, 11 May 1999 21:44:48 -0400 CodeAdvantage Technologies gives Apache 1.3.6 High rating CodeAdvantage Technologies, a division of Safety Net Solutions Inc. (http://www.safety.com), specializes in analyzing an application's source code, and rating its quality. The evaluation results of four categories are combined into an overall software quality score. These results are obtained by using Software Emancipation Technology's Discover application. Apache 1.3.6 on Unix was rated at 91%. The four categories analyzed by CodeAdvantage are the following: Portability: measures the portability of the software as indicated by obstacles that may prevent an application from running on other operating systems; i.e. ANSI implementation quantities, constant memory specification, etc. Programming Constructs: measures the use of questionable, unsafe, or conflicting programming guidelines; i.e. potential memory leaks, constant conditionals, downward casts. Globalization: Measures the application's conformance to best practice guidelines for international software; i.e. character constants, all string literals, etc. Structure: Measures compliance to a set of metrics; i.e. include directives > 15, uncommented lines > 500, etc. All four categories are weighted equally at 25% of the total overall score. The Apache 1.3.6 score breakdown per category is as follows: Portability 100% Programming Constructs 100% Globalization 100% Structure 56% A full breakdown of the results is posted on the CodeAdvantage website (http://www.codeadvantage.com).
