┌──────────────────────────────── MET_PARS ─────────────────────────────────┐
│ │
│ MET_PARS is a program that measures the complexity of Ada source │
│ code. Researchers have found that complexity metrics are correlated │
│ with the understandability of the source code, development and │
│ maintenace costs, and error rates. STO sells a library of reusable │
│ Ada software for $450 from which MET_PARS and other tools are built. │
│ │
│ This version of MET_PARS measures the Halstead metric, and │
│ displays a wide variety of information about components in the │
│ Ada program, as well as values for Halstead's metric. The parser │
│ does not handle the PRAGMA statement of Ada. │
│ │
│ To use the program, type MET_PARS followed by the filename. │
│ Test prorgams, LISTING.ADA and EXECUTE.ADA are provided. Type │
│ │
│ MET_PARS LISTING.ADA or MET_PARS EXECUTE.ADA │
│ │
│ to start the analysis. │
