Abstract

Static code analysis is a software verification method which analyzes software source code in terms of quality, security and reliability. Unlike other verification activities, static analysis can be automated; thus it can be applied without running the software or creating special test cases. Software metrics are widely practiced by many companies and researchers in order to evaluate their software. In this study, the software component quality measurement method which is developed in an embedded software team will be described. The method is based on automatically collected metrics and predetermined set of rules. First, the measured and calculated metrics under this method will be defined and the reasons for selecting these metrics will be described. Then, the software quality score calculation method using these metrics will be explained. Finally, the gains obtained with this method and the future plans will be related.
