173Mining Data from Software Repositories
These studies have proven to be appropriate examples for how source code obtained
from software repositories may be analyzed effectively and thus add to the value to soft-
ware repository mining eld. Tools such as Understand and CKJM, to a certain extent,
advocate the importance of analyzing the source code obtained from software repositories
and its application in popular research areas.
Now, we discuss some of the tools that generate the data for OO metrics for a given
software project.
