Smell Detectors and Metrics for Cultivate 0.3 Milestone 2

Metric detectors

Structure detectors evaluate certain structures and return a numeric value in a metric specific range for them, if they can be calculated (sometimes division by zero prevents calculation).

Smell Detectors

Structure detectors detect structures that are bad smells.

Structure Detectors

Structure detectors detect structures like inheritance or package dependencies. Their results are used in different diagrams.

Test are contained in prolog-tests/org/cs3/cultivate/pl/structures/

Queries

Queries allow further investigation on certain PEFs from special views, sophisticated java analyzers etc.
