Hi Doru, Thank you for your answer... It's too bad we don't have these figures... What do you say about creating a list of projects that could be used to create such a baseline. I don't really have a precise idea about the number of projects that we might need to compute this thing ... but I think starting such a list might be a good idea. And then based on that we can eventually try to get the results. In the Book: Object-oriented Metrics in Practice<http://www.moosetechnology.org/docs/publications/oomip> the authors used 45 java and 37 c++ systems to get these numbers ... so I think we have to find at least 30 projects maybe. I am not promising anything but maybe I will find some time over the next few weeks that I can dedicate to doing this. What do you guys say?

Hi Ciprian, That is precisely what I had in mind when I said that we need someone to do it :). For a list of projects, I would indeed do it like Alex is saying: by traversing projects from squeaksource. One idea is to use the MonticelloImporter to do it from Moose. The only thing would be to implement the relevant metrics for this importer. Cheers, Doru On 24 Oct 2011, at 22:47, Ciprian Teodorov wrote: -- www.tudorgirba.com "What we can governs what we wish."

I am currently working on a metacello importer. I have been slow on this due to numerous deadlines. Having someone bothering me regularly will definitely help reshuffling my todo list :-) Cheers, Alexandre Le 24 oct. 2011 à 17:58, Tudor Girba &lt;tudor(a)tudorgirba.com&gt; a écrit :

Hi, Going purely the Metacello way is less proper for your purpose because you are looking for a statistics, and due to project dependencies, you will get to measure common projects multiple times. However, if you have a Metacello configuration, you can easily obtain the packages involved and their respective repositories. You can then use this information with the Monticello importer. At least theoretically :) Cheers, Doru On 24 Oct 2011, at 23:47, Ciprian Teodorov wrote: -- www.tudorgirba.com "Quality cannot be an afterthought."

Hi all, During the last days I've been trying to get some statistical thresholds about smalltalk to use with the OverviewPyramid Moose visualisation. So here are the numbers I've got so far: MetricName Low Average High #cycloLoc 0,18 0,22 0,26 #locNom 5,59 6,91 8,89 #nomNoc 9,28 11,24 14,18 #nocNop 6,38 8,57 12,62 #callNom 3,59 5,46 7,33 #fanoutCalls 0,18 0,23 0,31 #andc 0,41 0,60 0,76 #ahh 1,72 2,22 2,98 The number were computer based on the evaluation of 20 smalltalk projects. The Metacello configuration of each project was used to get the particular composing packages. The Projects in question are: 'SmallDude' 'Gofer' 'Magma' 'Pier2' 'Merlin' 'Seaside30' 'Magritte2' 'Fame' 'DSM' 'Filesystem' 'HelpSystem' 'EyeSee' 'Metacello' 'Fuel' 'Glamour' 'MooseAlgos' 'Kumpel' 'Mondrian' 'PetitParser' 'XMLSupport' Please let me know what do you think about the quality of the results... I'm open to suggestions especially in terms other projects which could be includes. The constraint being that I need to have the Metacello configuration for the package. As for the code used to get these results I'll make it available on the squeaksource repository, once I clean it up a little bit.

Hi guys. Maybe what I have is completly useless, but if you get: Gofer new squeaksource: 'Marea'; package: 'CodeStats'; load. And the do a print of: CodeStats default setCodeStatsFor: 'Fuel'; printReport. Then you get the statistics for Fuel package: 'Code stats for: #(''Fuel'') Nr of packages: 1 Nr of categories 9 Nr of classes: 71 Nr of methods: 496 lines of code: 1861 Avg methods/class: 7.0s1 Avg lines/method: 3.8s1 Nr of test methods: 0 % of commented methods: 16 % of commented classes: 96' Maybe you can get some code from there....
