Code 'goodness' tools

Code 'goodness' tools

[Arthur I Schwarz]

I'm looking for some maintenance tools which can identify source code which
should be modified to make them more maintainable. Amongst the tools sought
are those with Cyclomatic Complexity and Essential Complexity, but there
might be others that would be as, or more, suitable.

This is a short duration effort in which I'm charged with looking at 100k
SLOC. Free is good. Shareware is good. Purchasable is no good because there
isn't enough time for a PO to be cut. (I know about McCabe Associates and
have downloaded jGrasp.)

Try looking for the ASAP tools, which I think used to be
held in the PAL.
