February 8, 2007 at 11:49 a.m.3 Million Open Source Measurements for Java Programmers
SourceKibitzer reports that to date, the site has an analysis of more than 500 Open Source projects written in Java, and the site team is not going to stop there.
According to executives at SourceKibitzer, over 50,000 open source Java projects have been published on the Internet, approximately 5,000 of which are active. Putting all available projects together is a priority for SK developers, which has already been implemented in one tenth of the site’s half-year existence. Among the 500 published and analyzed projects you can find: Apache, Codehaus, JBoss and ObjectWeb. In total, the SourceKibitzer base includes 3 million measurements, and this number is increasing by another 100,000 units every week. Moreover, the total size of the analyzed code is more than 24 million lines.
Created half a year ago on the Baltic Sea, SourceKibitzer collects and evaluates software metrics for OS projects hosted on a global network in order to obtain results on code quality, member activity, project development process and its size. Programmers of the site have been working with the Java language for several years and therefore are well aware of its capabilities. Limiting only Java to projects allows you to do more detailed analysis specific to this language, as well as maintain the largest database of Java metrics.
With the expansion of the database, SourceKibitzer is going to expand in parallel the range of services related to metrics and OS traffic. “We are ready to help students and researchers by providing them with the necessary data on projects of interest for work,” says Mark Kofman, Executive Director of SourceKibitzer, “We are also ready to share advice with OS users regarding the quality of work of specialists. Most importantly, we do it absolutely free. ”
In order for the project you are interested in to be included in the SK database, you must fill out the Kibitz me formon the main page of the site, and it will be analyzed in one working day, then the project data will be regularly updated without any additional request. And in order to be aware of the changes taking place with a particular project, you just need to regularly go to www.sourcekibitzer.org . You can also follow site changes and news using the Russian-language blog rublog.sourcekibitzer.org or by receiving an RSS feed.
