Detect code patterns that are prone to errors with HIS metrics in Understand by SciTools. All metrics can be set up to run automatically so you can track your progress in real time.
Names and descriptions follow the HIS metric set.
| Metric name | Description |
|---|---|
Comment Density COMF | Relationship of the number of comments (outside of and within functions) to the number of statements |
Number of paths PATH | Number of non cyclic remark paths (i.e. minimum number of necessary cases of test) |
Number of Goto Statements GOTO | Number of Goto Statements |
Cyclomatic Complexity v(G) | In accordance with the Cyclomatic Number (McCabe Cyclomatic Complexity) |
Number of Calling Functions CALLING | By how many subfunctions is this function called |
Number of called functions CALLS | How many different functions does this function call |
Number of Function Parameters PARAM | How complex is the function interface |
Number of Instructions per function STMT | How complex is the function |
Number of call Levels LEVEL | Depth of nesting of a function |
Number of return points RETURN | Number of return points within a function |
The stability index S | The stability index supplies a measure of the number of the changes (changes, deletions, additions) between two versions of a piece of software |
Language scope VOCF | The language scope is an indicator of the cost of maintaining/changing functions |
NOMV | Number of MISRA HIS Subset violations |
NOMVPR | Number of MISRA violations per rule |
Number of recursions ap_cg_cycle | Call graph recursions |

No. Understand also contains over a hundred unique metrics that can boost your performance. See the full metrics list.
Yes. NOMV reports the number of MISRA HIS Subset violations and NOMVPR reports the number of MISRA violations per rule. Full MISRA coverage ships with every installation.
Point Understand at your project and see the comment density, complexity and call-level numbers for yourself.
