[Moose-dev] System complexity: Useful metrics?

jfabry
Hi all,

a quick poll: which selection of metrics do you find the most useful  
when using a system complexity type visualisation, and what are your  
goals when using the visualisation?

AspectMaps has this view as a part, but I am reluctant to include all  
the options that are in the customisable system complexity view,  
because this is a loooooooooot. A subset would be less intimidating to  
the user ...

I use the have the traditional ones:
width = #numberOfAttributes
height = #numberOfMethods
color = #numberOfLinesOfCode

Regarding my goals, it really depends on the situation.

OK, thanks!

Yes, well that's kind of obvious, no? ;-) That's why I asked in the  
plural.

Anyways, I think that in AspectMaps I will just keep the above metrics  
plus weightedMethodCount because it sounds cool :-P, and the amount of  
join point shadows.

FYI: a pic of the current state of AspectMaps. I dont have time this  
week to make new screenshots and movies, and from next week I am away  
from the computer until the end of feb, so I will do those things when  
I am back ...

It looks really really cool! I am glad to see what people can do with  
Moose/Glamour/Mondrian. This is an excellent illustration!
