9.3 Analyzing Code Inside Visual Studio with CR_Metrics
Standalone complexity-analysis tools are vital for a comprehensive picture of your code base, but it’s nice to be able to take a quick look at metrics for the code you’re currently working on without having to leave your development environment. If you’re using Visual Studio, CR_Metrics enables you to do just that—you can quickly examine the metrics without having to leave Visual Studio to fire off another app or a task in your build system.
CR_Metrics, part of the CR_Plugin package, is built on the DXCore framework from Developer Express. DXCore is an IDE integration framework enabling developers to quickly create powerful add-ins for Visual Studio.
CR_Metrics computes cyclomatic complexity and adds two other very useful metrics: lines of code and a custom maintenance complexity metric.
