Total Quality Plugin

Description / Features

Total Quality plugin combines four domains measures (architecture, design, code, and tests) in order to calculate a global and unified project quality health. Plugin provides metrics at project level only.

The default formula is :

TQ= 0.25*ARCH + 0.25*DES + 0.25*CODE + 0.25*TS

where :

Architecture (ARCH)

ARCH = 100 - TI

TI = Tangle Index

Design (DES)

Design is more complete than Architecture, combines five metrics, NOM, LCOM4, RFC, CBO, and DIT.

DES = 0.15*NOM + 0.15*LCOM + 0.25*RFC 0.25*CBO + 0.20*DIT

NOM, based on methods and classes complexities (50% each one) with global acel and 2.5 as default limit for method and 12 as default limit for class.

LCOM4, based on lcom4 with global acel and 1.0 as default limit.

RFC, based on rfc core metric with global acel and 50.0 as default limit.

CBO, based on cbo core metric with global acel and 5.0 as default limit.

DIT, based on dit core metric with global acel and 5.0 as default limit.

Code (CODE)

Code = 0.15*DOC + 0.45*RULES + 0.40*DRYNESS

DOC = Documented API density

RULES = Rules compliance index

DRYNESS = 100 - Duplicated lines density

Test (TS)

Testing quality is based on coverage metric family (coverage, and test success).

Test = 0.80*COV + 0.20*SUC

COV = Code coverage

SUC = Unit Tests success density

Configuration

Every limit and every formula should be configure with administration view.
If you want to remove a metric just do,

"ARCH=0.25 DESIGN=0.25 CODE=0.50 TESTS=0.00"

Known limitations and TODO

• See SONARPLUGINS-415

Usage & Installation

1. Copy the jar into /extensions/plugins/ directory
2. Restart Sonar Web server
3. Launch a new quality analysis and the metrics will be fed
