The quality of a software system can be evaluated by considering the technical debt accumulated in the system.[1] SonarGraph is a static code analysis tool developed by hello2morrow that allows software developers to monitor the software quality of their codebases with a focus on software architecture and metrics [2][3]
Overview
hello2morrow is an independent software vendor founded in 2005 by Dietmar Menges and Alexander von Zitzewitz. The Sonargraph platform supports a range of different languages including C/C++, C#, Java, Kotlin, and Python 3 and includes features such as a Groovy-based scripting engine and a DSL (Domain Specific Language) to formally describe their architectural blueprint.
Sonargraph computes several software metrics including cyclomatic complexity, propagation cost, cyclicity etc. A number of the metrics specifically focus on measures of maintainability, including “Maintainability Level”[4] and “Structural Debt Index”[5]
The Sonargraph platform comprises several products: Sonargraph-Explorer, Sonargraph-Architect, Sonargraph-Build, Sonargraph-Developer, and Sonargraph-Enterprise.
Sonargraph-Explorer is available for free and supports the analysis of Java and C#. SonarGraph has a range of different licenses including Teams, Personal and Non-commercial. A free, non-commercial license is available for academic usage in universities or schools for educational purposes. Open source projects also qualify for a free license, if it is not controlled by a for-profit company or a government entity.
