• This presentation will probably involve audience
  discussion, which will create action items. Use
  PowerPoint to keep track of these action items
  during your presentation
• In Slide Show, click on the right mouse button
• Select Meeting Minder
• Select the Action Items tab
• Type in action items as they come up
• Click OK to dismiss this box

Status Summary

• A preliminary version of the Halstead Metrics
  program was completed
• Known IssuesThe parser needs to be improvedMore
  information on what operations and operands are
  is needed.
• Some parts of the program are too complex and
  need to be simplified.

3
Progress

• A C/C sources file reader/ parser was
  implemented. That breaks down the input file into
  tokens.
• The tokens are analyzed and sorted into
  operators,operations, and no effect.
• From this information Halstead metrics are
  calculated for the program

4
Attention Areas

• Improve parser/ calculations
• Port to windows GUI with MS Offfice and HTML
  output capabilities
• Simplfy the design and translate to a dockable
  component for a marketable CASE tool

Deliveries

• 25 pages of source code
• 1 executable DOS program that will accept a
  filename as a command line argument
• This ppt
