Interpreting Code Metrics
As an architect you are responsible for ensuring not only compliance with the architecture you create, but also the quality of that architecture. One tool in the architect's toolkit that can help you is code metrics. There are a lot of cool and useful source code metrics and code analyzer tools in the world today that analyze your source code and present you with lots of cool eye-candy, complete with graphs, charts, and pictures of what your source code base looks like. But what does it all mean? In this session you will learn how to interpret the various metrics produced from common source code metrics and analytical tools and what actions you should take and when.
