Panopticode is a software that offers a consistent approach to illustrate software project structures while also integrating various metrics.
Panopticode project is a powerful tool that provides a standardized format for describing the structure of software projects and integrates metrics from several tools into that format. This software is particularly useful for tasks such as prioritizing refactoring and redesign work, understanding large code bases, ensuring coding standards are being followed, evaluating software quality, informing extend-versus-rewrite decisions, proving that contractual obligations have been met and comparing competing tools.
One of the good features of this software is the available rich selection of tools to the Java community that provide valuable code metrics. This software has the necessary features to help users achieve these tasks. In terms of reporting options, Panopticode presents correlation, historic analysis, and visualization which are functionalities preferred by users.
Despite the benefits of these tools, they suffer from installation and configuration problems. Most only measure the status of data at a point in time and they represent their data in a proprietary format. It is very difficult to correlate data from different tools since these tools provide similar functions. Moreover, reporting and visualization capabilities are limited.
This release of Panopticode provides treemaps of code coverage and complexity, integrates metrics from Emma, JavaNCSS, and JDepend, and gathers metrics from CheckStyle, Cobertura, Complexian, Simian, and Subversion. Treemaps are vital for visualization and help to see both the overall picture and a great deal of detail at the same time.
Overall, Panopticode is a necessary software tool for individuals seeking to measure and understand software metrics. The software's integration of multiple tools, standardized formats, and expanded visualization options make it a valuable resource.
