No idea about the threshold. I find system complexity and class blueprint quite useful to get a first impression of a system. I then usually visualize the dependencies. If I really want to understand the system, then writing unit tests will do the thing.

Hi all,
I'm new to using moose for analyzing a rather large smalltalk project developed during the last 16-17 years. I hope that using Moose framework will give positive insights on the hot-spots of the system in order to improve its structure, and make it more maintainable. The project name is Madeo (http://stiff.univ-brest.fr/BINIOU/MADEO) a FPGA design-automation toolkit developed mainly by one of my PhD supervisors (Loic Lagadec).
To start the evaluation I believe that the overview pyramid is a very good starting point in order to get a generic idea about the system. However, I was not able to find any smalltalk threshold values in the moose image.
So my question is if there is somebody having some idea about the smalltalk threshold values for the OverviewPyramid.
If yes, could you provide me these figures, and eventually point me to a scientific paper presenting these results. If not, I'm willing to try to get these figures myself... however I don't really know which smalltalk projects I could use to get good results.
Thank you very much for your attention.
Best wishes,
